Nearly 2,000 Academy members took part in the event last year.
The deadline for Recording Academy members to register for District Advocate Day is Friday . The Academy calls the day, which is set for Oct. 5 this year, “the largest grassroots advocacy movement for music and its makers.”
Focus areas this year will include AI, live event ticketing reform, the RAP Act and the HITS Act. The RAP Act and the HITS Act were also priorities last year, but those bills have yet to become law. District Advocate Day was created in 2014. It has been held every year since except 2021, when the Academy pivoted to a smaller, virtual “Behind the Record x Advocacy” Day.” The 2020 event, amid the pandemic, was virtual. In 2022 it returned in person.
Last year, Recording Academy members advocated for four bills being considered by the 117th Congress – the HITS Act, the RAP Act, the PEACE Through Music Diplomacy Act and the American Music Fairness Act.The PEACE Through Music Diplomacy Act was signed into law by President Biden as a part of the 2023 National Defense Authorization Act in December 2022.
