Pearl Jam Write Congress


This week, Pearl Jam were signatories on two petitions to the US Congress.  The first, signed earlier this week, asks Congress to make changes to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which many artists feel hurts musicians to the benefit of major tech companies like YouTube and Spotify.

The second letter is published in the most recent issue of Billboard magazine and asks Congress to require background checks for every gun sale and suspected terrorists to be blocked from purchasing guns.

If you want to add your voice to these, or any other issues, you can use this link to find the lawmakers that represent you specifically, so that you can write them letters and ask for change.
