Letter Template

Dear [Name],

As a member of SF's arts community, I'm asking for your support in ensuring artists have a voice in charter reform. The 1932 charter included arts representation through the War Memorial Board. Today, artists have no seat at your working group table, even as the infrastructure that sustains creative life is eroding faster than policy and philanthropy can respond.

Arts and culture generate billions in economic activity and defines what makes SF livable. Could you bring our voices into your deliberations?

We need a charter that serves all San Franciscans, including the artists who make this city worth living in.

In solidarity,

[Your Name]
