American Music Fairness Act

[Clay Anderson Johnson]

Today Dave Pomeroy, president of my union local, testifies before Congress. If you are an American please email or call to your congressional representatives to support fair pay in broadcasting. This affects fair pay for all musical artists who have music broadcast in the US. Only North Korea and Iran have a broadcast payment standard as low as the United States Thank you. It’s Groundhog Day and once again National Association of Broadcasters and big corporate broadcasters are arguing that recording artists should not be paid for their work. Let’s finally remove this long shadow and pass the American Fairness Music Act to bring light to the hard work of musicians. The American Fairness Music Act will have a positive financial impact on musicians, but will also make an important statement about the value of our music. Today Local 257 (Nashville, TN) President Dave Pomeroy and others testify in front of Congress to stand up and take action on behalf of music creators across the U.S. The fight for #musicfairness has spanned decades — it’s past time to make fair pay a reality for musicians.
