Now, NJ Art Pride has set up a quick form letter to send to state officials asking to reconsider the freeze. The dearth of money may mean the end of these organizations, which would be financially devastating to my whole community. So, if you have a moment today, as somebody who has attended performances in New Jersey and as a favor to my dear friend Roxie, I would so very much appreciate if you wanted to pretend to be a New Jerseyan and help all of us bury our officials in letters.
Thanks, thanks, and ever thanks (hey! That’s from a play!) from the bottom of Roxie's poor, non-profit heart!
Here's what you need to do as a member or supporter of any arts organization effected by this freeze:
1) Visit www.artpridenj.com
2) When the homepage comes up, please click on the flashing box on the left top that says Action Alert and has stars on it (red, white and blue).
3) It will prompt you for a zip code, so please enter your home zip code (here's one if you need a Jersey zip - 07042).
4) Then you will select the top item called, "state funding freeze impact on cultural community."
This will automatically create several emails that will be written on your behalf to state officials.
5) All you need to do is to enter your name after the word Sincerely and then enter your address (if you need a Jersey address, email me and I'll give you one) and email address and then click on the box that has an automatic check mark that would put you on their mailing list and this will remove the check mark so that you are not signing up for anything at all and simply sending emails to the state officials.
6) Then click send.
Your message will be sent to Governor Corzine AND your local legislative district.
