ADVOCACY WATCH:  A QUICK RESPONSE NETWORK

A new nation-wide network is forming to generate quick responses to
issues that place arts and theatre organizations in jeopardy.  The
Advocacy Committee of the national Association for Theatre in Higher
Education has authorized the creation of an on-line response system,
Advocacy Watch, to distribute fast-breaking information about situations
which threaten the survival of the theatre and its sister arts in
academe and in society in general.

This is, then, a communications network for advocacy issues.  The quick
response time of internet communications will enable arts advocates to
work both from the "bottom up," allowing individual members to call upon
the organization's resources to address grassroots concerns (e.g.
funding questions in San Antonio last fall) and from the "top down,'
keeping members informed about national concerns (e.g. the NEA).

Advocacy Watch co-chairs Rick Jones (University of Kansas) and Julia
Matthews (Kennesaw State University, GA) are enlisting volunteers to
staff a series of regional and state networks to feed into the larger
national system.  In the short term, we hope to have a 'point person' in
every state; in the longer term, we're looking for someone in every
congressional district.  These volunteers will be well placed to
coordinate local advocacy efforts and to lobby their government
representatives.

While this is a project of the Association for Theatre in Higher
Education, volunteers need not be members of the organization. . .
although of course we would like them to be!

What can you do to help Advocacy Watch grow?

1.  Volunteer to be a regional and/or state "point person" on the
on-line network.
2.  Suggest other good people we might contact.
3.  Give us input about local, regional, or national issues you'd like
to see covered.

To volunteer, or for more information, contact Rick Jones at
rjones@falcon.cc.ukans.edu, by phone at 785-865-2989, or by FAX at
785-864-5251.  Volunteers, please include your e-mail address, state,
and congressional district (or congressperson's name).

Many thanks!
