If you want to take action while staying home to help independent venues, please read up on the organization NIVA. National Independent Venue Association is a group of nearly 2,000 independent venues in the U.S. that are banding together to ask Washington for targeted legislation to help us small businesses survive. NIVA's mission is to preserve and nurture the ecosystem of independent live music venues and promoters throughout the U.S.

We were the first to shut down and will be the last to open. We are requesting specific federal support for independent venues and promoters across the country during the indefinite shutdown. Right now, the best thing you can do is let your local representatives know this is just an intermission, and you want to see live music and comedy (and the independent venues that house them) come back stronger than ever! You can head to saveourstages.com to find your rep, copy and paste their message (or create your own) and hit send to help #SaveOurStages.
