It's going to be a Spooky October, but you shouldn't be afraid to give some blood with SAG-AFTRA and save a life. Each brave soul that successfully donates will be rewarded with a free 30-minute session with an industry coach and a chance to win a cool swag bag. All are welcome! Tell your friends and family! And for all the actors who are represented by a talent agent here in the city, let us know who your agent is, and the agency with the most attendees will receive a prize. We'll see you all there!
When: Noon - 6 p.m., Monday, Oct. 21, 2019
Where: KMRC
1 E. Erie
Suite 660
Coaching sessions for on-camera, voiceover, life, business and more are being donated by SAG-AFTRA members and industry professionals. They may be redeemed at a later date that is mutually agreed upon.
Don’t want a coaching session? That’s okay. You’ll be a hero nonetheless.

To help national committee information get communicated to committee members and members-at-large more quickly and comprehensively.
To work with casting sites to accurately delineate who is a union member and who is not.
To provide a method of information dissemination that our members are literally begging for; and to even the playing field by providing the same access to this vital means of communication that some Locals already enjoy.
To explore ways to support members who experience housing and food insecurity, and eventually join with the Health Care Safety Net in a revamped committee.
To obtain blanket national coverage of stand-ins and photo doubles by arranging a vote of those who have done this work so as to be added to the bargaining unit.
