I am very glad to be sharing a positive update with you, which I hope will be only the first of many. The letter I've linked below and attached makes Sen. Larry Farnese (SD1, Philadelphia) the first legislator, of whom I'm aware, to publicly urge the Governor to reverse his freeze on the PA Council on the Arts disbursing its grants.

Firstly, I want to extend thanks to Sen. Farnese for this, and I hope his commitment will be backed up by further material actions to see it through. Secondly, I wanted to encourage you to keep contacting your PA Representative and Senator, asking them to join Sen. Farnese with similar pressure on the Governor.

Thank you again to everyone who has signed. We can still use more signers! Please continue to help put this forward to your networks. Your work is producing results!
