Arts & cultural organizations are cultural keynotes that preserve history, inspire creativity, and educate the public, but getting members to come back year after year is a persisting challenge. One of the easiest ways to encourage membership renewals is to offer a loyalty rewards program such as PassPlay. On the blog this month, we talked about how PassPlay fits into the membership renewal strategy of arts & cultural organizations and a few other ways to provide more value to your organization.

We are not going to let our country die, are we. We are not going to let it culturally die and wither on the vine," Michael Sheen Let's all shout louder for heritage, identity, culture, pride, and place in Wales until the government listens. There is so much evidence that our culture contributes to the economy, to education, to language, to well-being and for future generations. We need our politicians to imagine how they can support all our priorities, health, food security, education by working with our identity and place. https://lnkd.in/ePgqmveE

This is really about our refusal to create an educated electorate. Chatting with folks in their 20s, some literally do not understand how the system works, they know they don't understand it, they see the fruits of what we've created in this very inequitable system, and they're divested. So who ends up voting? A lot of really scared, self-serving as opposed to community-driven, cynical, anti-forward thinking individuals. Who will be long dead when the country has slipped into its final morass of failed late-stage capitalism. We need to work on getting Americans aware about the voting process. Yes to more voter education -- it's a crisis now.
