Subject: Create the Vote Boston 2021 Arts and Culture Policy Platform 

[Insert organization/individual name here] believe[s] arts and culture is a basic need and fundamental right for all persons. 

[We are] excited to announce that [we] have endorsed Create the Vote Boston’s policy platform for the 2021 Boston mayoral election. Create the Vote Boston 2021 is made up of artists, creative workers, cultural organizations, and arts groups working together to ensure Boston’s arts and cultural community is visible during the 2021 Boston mayoral campaign and a priority in the next mayoral administration. 

The CTV Boston 2021 Coalition wants a mayor who will invest in arts and culture for all with public funding, actions, and support for racial, linguistic, and gender equity. The platform lays out CTV Boston’s three priorities for the city’s next mayor: 

Invest in Arts and Culture for All

Significantly increase arts and cultural funding to ensure a creative sector in Boston where everyone has access to creative expression and cultural experiences across their lifespan.

Develop The Next Generation of Leaders in Boston through Arts and Culture

Increase funding and program support for arts education in Boston Public Schools and access to creative youth development programs across the city.

Create Space for Arts Experiences and Cultural Celebrations

Make Boston a more arts and culture-friendly city by increasing space for the creation and presentation of art, streamlining permitting processes, and removing barriers for holding cultural events.

Please consider endorsing the platform alongside [us] to demonstrate your support of CTV Boston 2021’s vision.
