DESCRIPTION:

DISCOVER YOUR LOCAL MUSEUMS:
MUSEUM ADVOCACY DAY

Museum Advocacy Day is a pivotal annual event that unites museum professionals, advocates, and supporters in Washington, D.C., to underscore the crucial role museums play in society. Organized by the American Alliance of Museums (AAM), it typically takes place in late February and draws participants from across the United States, including museum directors, curators, educators, trustees, and volunteers.

The primary purpose of Museum Advocacy Day is to advocate for policies and funding that support museums, ensuring their sustainability and growth. Participants meet with members of Congress and their staff to discuss the economic, educational, and cultural impact of museums in their communities. They highlight how museums contribute to local economies, support academic initiatives, and preserve cultural heritage.

Museum Advocacy Day is crucial because it gives museums a unified voice in the nation's capital, advocating for federal funding, tax incentives, and educational programs. It also helps to counteract funding cuts, policy changes, and other threats impacting museums' ability to serve the public.

Participation in Museum Advocacy Day includes various activities, from attending advocacy workshops and networking events to direct meetings with legislators. Advocates are also encouraged to participate virtually, using social media and other digital platforms to amplify their message.

Your participation in Museum Advocacy Day, as a diverse stakeholder, is instrumental in strengthening the collective impact of the museum community. This ensures that museums remain vital resources for education, culture, and community engagement.
