FYI if actors don't get strict Ai protections for this contract 90% of film industry jobs will be lost. Crafty, gaffers, grips, makeup, set deco? Gone. Digital sets, no jobs. We are fighting for the future of this industry and ALL our jobs. We will not be "taking a deal". ✊🪧

Digital grave robbing. That's what the studios are after. Why the hell anyone in this business would look at that proposal and say SAG-AFTRA should cave is beyond me. @slack2thefuture.bsky.social explains it far better than it.
When it comes to AI protections, SAG-AFTRA isn’t just fighting to protect their lowest-paid members.
They’re fighting to protect every performer in their union — and thousands of other jobs in the entertainment industry.🧵 www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

As SAG-AFTRA Responds to Studio Offer, AI Protections for High-Earning Members Remain Sticking Point

I can't stress this enough - these funds need your money, especially the ECF and HSSRF. They are the single most important thing supporting workers in the entertainment industry right now. People are REALLY feeling the squeeze. Please share these links around. They're all tax deductible.
at this stage in the strike, the most important funds that need your money are the ones that provide direct financial aid:
1. bit.ly/ecf-donate (main Entertainment Community Fund)
2. bit.ly/hssrf-donate (Hollywood Support Staff Relief Fund)
3. www.goforpasalliance.org/donate

Writer friends, our NegCom doesn't leak. Ever. If something is in the trades, it's because the companies want it there. It's to serve their ends. View everything accordingly.

I was an assistant during the last strike and I cannot *imagine* doing this without social media. Every time something pops in the trades, every site lights up with “well, that’s some bullshit and here’s why.” That didn’t exist at all for any previous strike.
Respect to our predecessors, friends.

Tell me you don't support working class union members fighting to protect the future of our career without telling me -
Stephen Amell: I support my union. I do. And I stand with them. But I do not support striking. I don't.

I dunno what union actor needs to hear this but our union has asked us to not promote any project that is from a struck company. That means pics, memes, reviews, etc. EVEN projects you are not a part of. #solidarity is not always easy but #UnionStrong #sagaftrastrong
