Facilitate greater access to government legislation and policy processes for the dance sector in order for the sector to share lived experiences with policy makers and politicians, and to understand how government works.

Develop and distribute an advocacy toolkit that provides and contextualizes Dance Industry Census data for different stakeholders (e.g., legislators, dance workers, institutions, educational entities, etc.)

Create and utilize contract templates that include transparent details of technical riders, access riders, and clear descriptions of wages earned and the rights of workers, including intellectual property and credit for their work.

Adopt policies and practices that include more transparency of the availability of related funds (e.g., for the creation of residencies), contracts with tech riders, and access riders, as well as policies and practices that include a clear description of wages earned and the rights of the worker.

Require entity leadership, staff, and board members to participate in training on various legal structures (including 501(c)(3), LLC, etc.) and their benefits, limitations, and requirements.
