As the largest organization representing professional musicians in the U.S. and Canada, The American Federation of Musicians is dedicated to improving the lives of working musicians—on and off the stage.

Local 427-721 is excited to offer outreach presentations in our jurisdiction to help musicians, students, other unions, and the public understand the benefits of unionism, including:


  • Advocacy and Protection: Learn how our union fights for musicians’ rights at the local and national levels as well as builds solidarity with other arts unions in our community and throughout the labor movement.
  • Fair Wages and Contracts: Learn how our union ensures fair pay and secure working conditions.
  • Health and Pension Benefits: Find out about the safety nets in place to support professional musicians.
  • Legal Representation: Learn how the union guarantees contracts, disputes, and how current laws and statutes impact unionism.
  • Community: Find out how unionism benefits where we live and work. Stay current with who is organizing workers locally and what you can do to help.


Whether you’re interested in musicians, the arts, or the labor movement, this presentation will give you the tools and information you need to support local professional musicians and arts workers in general. Let’s build a stronger community, together!
