Advocacy takes many forms — a circus performer demanding labor protections, a flamenco dancer who refusing to believe her passion has an expiration date, an arts worker fighting for equal access to the arts, and a playwright with Alzheimer's who keeps taking the stage because he knows theater can change minds in ways policy papers never will. In this episode of ARTS. WORK. LIFE., four artists and arts workers share what it looks like to speak up, push back, and commit to leaving the industry better than they found it.

You can watch this episode on APAP’s YouTube channel.

Featuring:

Shenea Stiletto - "Strength In Numbers"

Ami Otero Minars - "Expiration Date"

Sabrina Martinez - "Eyes and Ears"

Sam Simon - "Life Worth Living"
