Calling all musicians who access the P2 Visa program. Make sure to share your border experiences.

We want to hear from you!
If you experienced or heard of a show/festival that was canceled, or had to reschedule a tour, because of P2 Visa processing time, we urge you to report the details. Your experiences will help us demonstrate real-world impact of these issues to US legislators.

Your stories will strengthen AFM - American Federation of Musicians's position as we lobby for policy changes that ensure Canadian musicians can work in the US without facing unnecessary and costly barriers. We are stronger together.

This has been some of the best news coming out of Canada in a long time. The beginning of an all Canadian social media company with morals. We truly hope Canadians can wrap our arms around the breath of fresh air and support these folks. Not only by using this platform but by putting our advertising dollars behind them. Signup today and get in on this exciting new project for us Canadians to share our stories with other Canadians.

Fun, private, and ethical. We're changing the way social media is done around here, all without your personal data taking an unexpected trip down south.
