Dear Member,
We need you to take action right now to support good union jobs. As I notified you in my last letter, thanks to your efforts, the efforts of our staff, and the efforts of our fellow industry unions, an extension and an increase to the Film and TV tax credit from $420M to $700M a year is on the table for inclusion in the New York State budget. This means production. This means jobs. This means you!
Use these links to find your state senator and assembly member and contact them today to ask them to support this measure. Let them know that an increase to the Film and TV tax incentive program will support good union jobs and continue our industry's strong contribution to the New York State economy.
Please also share posts from our SAG-AFTRA New York Local social media accounts on Twitter and Facebook. Our engagement matters. Retweet and share your support using the hashtag #FilmedinNY. We need all hands on deck to get this over the finish line. Your voice matters. Use it.
Forward together,
Ezra Knight
New York Local President
