Action #2
Art Cards to State Legislators
This is a creative action to bring awareness to our state legislators of Art Therapy and (where applicable) the importance of a state license to practice art therapy among other needs. Hand written letters are powerful at the legislative level. And we can flex our creative muscles by making the cards ourselves!
A group of people are working on a general statement in the form of a wish list that can be written inside or on the back of a handmade card if that is helpful.
Ideas:
Christmas Cards
Chanukah Cards
New Year Cards
Valentine's Day Cards
St. Patrick's Day Cards
Here is a link to the government website to find names and contacts for your state representatives:

An art therapist sent an Art Card to AATA wishing them well over the holidays while asking for positive change within their actions and policies. So art cards can be used as a creative, non-violent tool in many arenas!
