Advocacy

Taking Our Message to Congress

PANA was founded on a desire to educate, recognize and uplift our diverse community of professional (and human!) audiobook narrators, and advocacy is the heart of our mission.

We are now getting back to our roots and providing a path to advocacy for our members. Our Legislative Action tool is step one of many, please stay tuned for more initiatives developed by our board and PANA volunteers.

If you are a non-member and have found yourself here, please feel free to utilize our resources.

Our Voices Matter

One powerful way to make our voices heard is by contacting our members of Congress. You’ll find letters on this page you can use to communicate with your senators and representatives on issues important to our work.
