I am very happy to announce the relaunch of our SAG-AFTRA Atlanta Local newsletter. Strong unions require members who are informed, educated and active, and I hope our newsletters serve as a direct source of ongoing, effective communication for all our local members. We hope to use a quarterly newsletter to highlight SAG-AFTRA news and events that directly impact the Atlanta Local.
Throughout the unprecedented challenges of the last two years, Georgia continues to be an important leader in the entertainment industry. And SAG-AFTRA members have consistently illustrated their innate resiliency and the intrinsic value of the work they provide.
As we move forward into a new year, I am motivated and optimistic about what we can accomplish together, and I look forward to vigorously representing the best interests of all Atlanta Local members.
I move forward as your Atlanta Local president with the following objectives:
• Engage in productive communication to create active participation, commitment and solidarity within our Atlanta Local membership.
• Equip Atlanta Local members with relevant and comprehensive resources to help them better navigate and fully engage in their careers.
• Provide practical solutions that most accurately represent and benefit Atlanta Local members to protect and further enhance work opportunities in this so-called “right-to-work” state.
• Support, promote and enforce all national SAG-AFTRA initiatives to keep performers safe both on and off set.
• Promote and maintain a union that is inclusive of all members and thrives on the talents of our diverse membership.
As we enter 2022, please watch for emails regarding events, announcements and opportunities for engagement with your SAG-AFTRA Atlanta Local.

I wish everyone a safe, happy holiday season with loved ones, and I look forward to a productive year of expanded work opportunities in 2022.
Embrace the process!
In solidarity,
Eric Goins
Atlanta Local President
