Launched in April 2020, in response to the COVID-19 crisis by the Officers and Executive Board of Local 802, this initiative features 802 member musicians and composers, as well as artist friends of 802, working together virtually and using all tools, whether it be a powerful home studio or just an iPhone to create music videos in an effort to raise awareness about the Emergency Relief Fund and bring in much needed financial support for musicians in this trying time. Participating composers include Doug Besterman and Jason Robert Brown.

Help the #NotesForRelief hashtag campaign go viral! Spread the word on Twitter. The Local 802 Musicians' Emergency Relief Fund (ERF) provides critical assistance to hundreds of musicians in times of crisis a year. Since 1967, the ERF has been the place professional musicians can turn to for help in emergency situations.
