OUR MISSION

The Broadway Advocacy Coalition builds the capacity of directly impacted advocates, artists, students, organizations, and communities to use the arts as an integral part of their social change work.

Founded in 2016 by members of the Broadway community as a direct response to the nation's pandemic of racism and police brutality, they have since grown into a multi-disciplinary organization uniting artists with legal experts and community leaders to have a lasting impact on policy issues including criminal justice reform, education equity, and immigration.​
