Drescher in D.C.: Advocacy in Action

In November, SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher met with lawmakers in Washington, D.C., to discuss legislation important to SAG-AFTRA members, including the Performing Artist Tax Parity Act, the American Music Fairness Act, green initiatives and more.

When it comes to advocating for laws that improve people’s lives, Drescher isn’t a newcomer. In 2009, Washingtonian magazine named her among the Top 5 celebrity lobbyists, alongside Bono, George Clooney, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, and now she’s bringing her talents to bear for SAG-AFTRA members. 

Drescher was joined on the trip by SAG-AFTRA National Executive Director Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, Chief Executive Communications and Marketing Officer Pamela Greenwalt, and National Director, Government Affairs and Public Policy Kerri Wood Einertson.
