Please join us for the latest installment of SAG-AFTRA’s President's Task Force on Education, Outreach & Engagement Race & Storytelling livestream series featuring members and industry colleagues discussing the intersection of race, storytelling, inclusion in the entertainment industry and equal opportunity for all. 

As we celebrate the rich cultural contributions of the Latino community during Hispanic Heritage month, we are reminded that there is still much work to be done to create inclusivity and authentic representation on screen and behind the camera in the community.  

In this conversation we’ll explore issues such as visibility vs. erasure and three-dimensional portrayals of Latino characters, and we’ll focus on practical solutions to counter the systemic biases that exist today in the entertainment industry.

This event is open to the public and does not require registration. Click HERE to watch on Tuesday, Sept. 29.
