ASCAP Members: Videotape a Message for Congress About Your Life as a Music Creator

For close to a century, ASCAP has been a leader in advocacy and grassroots efforts focused on protecting the rights of music creators. We had a great response to last year’s video initiative, designed to inform and educate key Washington policy makers and legislators about the issues that affect the music community. As a follow up, we are once more looking to capture testimonials from ASCAP members and fellow music creators at this year’s EXPO. If you would like to have your voice heard by your respective Members of Congress and others, please stop by the Elysian Park Room on the 3rd floor to take part in a brief video interview and articulate what being a music creator means to you!
