About NAPA: National Arts Policy Alliance (NAPA) is a new initiative, incubated within United States Artists, dedicated to building collective power among creative and cultural workers to win policy reforms establishing cross-sectoral economic rights for all. NAPA believe all workers in and outside the creative sector deserve economic rights, including material needs like housing and health care, the right to fair work and pay, income security, freedom of creative expression, access to economic opportunity, a clean environment, and the ability for individuals and communities to shape their economic futures.  NAPA is committed to strengthening the necessary infrastructure – local organizing capacity, advocacy and policy resources, and cross-sector alliances – to win systemic reforms grounded in economic rights and justice.

What NAPA’s Building: Over the next 12–18 months, NAPA will support the development of at least seven local Assemblies—networks of creative and cultural workers developing grassroots campaigns to win economic rights in their communities. These Assemblies will receive funding and organizing support to build out local action plans. NAPA will also build a peer learning cohort, host national training, and produce key research and policy resources to support these local efforts.
