A Message from New York Local President Ezra Knight

Dear Member,

As I write this letter, we, your TV/Theatrical Negotiating Committee, continue to meet with the AMPTP over significant terms for new TV/Theatrical/Streaming contracts. We thank you for your unwavering support from the very beginning. The energy you bring to the lines every day is vital and palpable: It feeds us.

I have just one request of you all now: Hold. The. Line. 

Please continue to show up on the lines for yourselves, for each other, and for the community we have built and the deep solidarity we’ve gained. Continuing to show up for our union shows our sibling unions and the entire world that we remain fierce advocates for ourselves within this moment and within the labor movement.

If you cannot make it to a picket line, you can amplify our message. Use our social media toolkit and show your support using the hashtags #SagAftraStrong #SagAftraStrike and #Power2Performers.

A reminder that factual updates will come directly from your TV/Theatrical Negotiating Committee. Eschew the noise. Don’t be misled. Let us stay the course …

One day longer. One day stronger. As long as it takes.

Forward together,

Ezra Knight
New York Local President
