Dear Member,
As 2018 draws to a close, I’m reflecting on the many things we have to be thankful for at SAG-AFTRA.
Just a mere six years ago, our new union was born and while it carries with it the remarkable strength, history and traditions of its predecessor organizations, I am proud of the remarkable steps we’ve taken as SAG-AFTRA.
SAG-AFTRA is embracing new technology.
SAG-AFTRA is rising to meet the challenges of a new and fragmenting media landscape.
SAG-AFTRA is taking bold steps to fight the encroachment of non-union commercials.
SAG-AFTRA is introducing ground breaking legislation to protect our rights as performers.
SAG-AFTRA is doubling down on enforcement and safety.
SAG-AFTRA is organizing more work for members.
SAG-AFTRA is you.
All of this is possible because of the strength, unity and activism of our membership. These achievements wouldn’t be possible without your engagement. Whether you participated in a committee, shared your work experiences at a wages and working committee meeting, showed up at a rally, or voted on your contracts, your voice is vital to our success.
I am deeply grateful for all that SAG-AFTRA members do to show up for our union.
Wishing you all the joy, hope and wonder of the holiday season and all the best in 2019!
Onward together,
Rebecca Damon
Executive Vice President and New York Local President
