Musicians' union launches campaign for relief

Broadway News: Local 802 is sounding the alarm for relief for musicians in New York City. Launched Tuesday under the banner #SaveNYCMusicians, the campaign asks for donations to the union’s emergency relief fund and seeks to bring greater awareness to the need for longer term relief measures, such as an extension of unemployment benefits and healthcare subsidies. While there may be hope for federal aid with a new administration, Local 802 President Adam Krauthamer said many of his members cannot afford to wait.
