AFM has many allies in Congress. We work with them to advocate on issues that affect musicians everyday, from copyright protection to pension reform. The long-term success of AFM’s legislative efforts depends on making sure that our allies in the House of Representatives and the Senate remain in office. Donating to their reelection campaigns is the best way to achieve this. Therefore, it is necessary that we raise contributions to AFM’s political action committee, the AFM TEMPO Fund.
AFM donates to Members of Congress who help:
• Fight for a full performance right on all sound recordings. This performance right guarantees that musicians are fairly compensated when their work is played on AM/FM terrestrial radio.
• Fight for stricter copyright enforcement measures, therefore ensuring that musicians’ hard work is protected from theft and misuse.
• Work to maintain and strengthen the pension system, so that musicians can afford to live comfortably in retirement.
• Advocate for more funding for the National Endowment for the Arts and Arts in Education programs, so that the next generation of musicians can have all the tools necessary to learning their craft.
AFM cannot use general treasury funds for political donations, so we need member donations to the AFM TEMPO Fund.
