Please join us for the latest installment of SAG-AFTRA’s President's Task Force on Education, Outreach and 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 the Asian American community continues to feel the impact of racism, bullying and harassment related to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are compelled to explore the ways in which better representation and three-dimensional portrayals of Asian American characters can counter stereotypes and result in larger societal impact.
We will also unveil our latest PSA, featuring SAG-AFTRA members calling on all Americans to stand against the stigma, xenophobia and harassment so many Asian Americans are still experiencing.
