from the Parent Artist Advocacy League (PAAL).
As COVID-19 achieves official pandemic status, organizations are scrambling to gather their options, assess cancelations, and gamble with art. To assist in ensuring that artists with families are supported, we call on all employers to not only recognize that employees with families not only engage in the logistics of their work responsibilities: many parents and those with elder dependents are flooded now with the reality or potential for schools, daycare, and caregiver services canceling or closing.
