Want to Get Involved? Here are Two Ways

1. A Call to Arts: Become a Mentor to Students and Other Members: In response to President Obama’s national call to service and mentoring, SAG-AFTRA and the American Film Institute are collaborating to mentor aspiring storytellers and creative and performing artists interested in pursuing careers in the cinematic arts. Are you intrigued? Might this be a way for you to combine your love for your craft with an act of fulfillment and kindness? Click here to learn more, register and start logging your mentor hours.
2. Support the Fair Play Fair Pay Act: Join thousands of musicians and music-lovers in supporting bipartisan legislation to reform music licensing and make sure music creators receive fair pay for their work. The act requires fair pay on all types of radio, ending the FM radio loophole that lets FM radio play artists' music without paying the artist (unlike SiriusXM and Pandora), and stops digital services’ groundless refusal to pay artists for playing music made before 1972. Tell Congress to stand up for fair pay for music creators. Click here to learn more.
