COVID-19 Relief Fund: Since March 16th, we’ve given over $5.2 million to more than 5,600 SAG-AFTRA performers and their families. It’s been an encouraging relief effort and it continues. Once again, if you need help, ask. And if you are in a position to donate [https://sagaftra.foundation/donate], please give.
The Safe Way Forward: Courtney spoke SAG-AFTRA President Gabrielle Carteris. Their talk included speaking about California resuming production and the health protocols outlined in a Multi-Union Report called “The Safe Way Forward” [https://www.sagaftra.org/files/sa_documents/ProductionSafetyGuidelines_June2020.pdf]. Their conversation will be coming soon on our YouTube Channel [https://www.youtube.com/sagaftrafoundation] and we will share when it’s posted.
Better Days Challenge: In an effort to come together in mutual support to reach our goals, Courtney wants to hear from you, our artists, about the positive things you’re looking forward to, and striving for.
