View Services"While our employers are consolidating and attempting to squeeze our earnings, we have proven that a united front is our best weapon in fighting for fair wages, safety on sets and protection of all our members—especially those who are most vulnerable.
As SAG-AFTRA President, I’ve seen first-hand the power of our members. With fierce determination we won the Interactive strike, revolutionized the Commercials contract, and transformed High Budget Streaming residuals. We’ve set the stage for our future and demonstrated both the necessity and incredible power of unions.
Even in the midst of a rapidly changing economy, SAG-AFTRA is leading the fight against sexual harassment and age discrimination, harnessing the power of innovative technology to deepen our enforcement and ensure we are capturing all of our residuals, and expanding protections and coverage for stunt performers and coordinators. This is a great start but my work is not done. With your support, I pledge to continue devoting my time, energy and passion to fight for every SAG-AFTRA member.”

Money in your pocket. Safety on your set. And security for you and your family.
In case you missed it, SAG-AFTRA has elections, and YOU get to decide which of your fellow members will volunteer their time on YOUR behalf.
When you fill out your ballot, don't vote for a political party.
Vote for a movement.
Vote for inclusion. Vote for vision. Vote for results.
Vote, Unite for Strength
Working together as a national team we’ve successfully negotiated contracts that have put over one billion additional dollars into members’ pockets. We will continue to increase our residuals, create more opportunities to work, and fight for better pay in every negotiation.
We saw the health plans merged. A feat that never would have been accomplished had UFS not led the charge to merge SAG and AFTRA. We will continue our work to expedite safe merger of the pension plans, and ensure that both your health and pension remain financially secure.
In addition to an emphasis on new Set and Stunt Safety guidelines with anonymous hotline reporting options, we led on creating the first ever industry standard Sexual Harassment Code of Conduct; including new provisions in our Commercials and Network Television Code contracts calling for the end of auditions in hotels and private residences.
Not only have we secured contracts worth over one billion dollars for members, we have made SAG-AFTRA financially stable resulting in record level surpluses.

EVERY. DOLLAR. COUNTS.
Your donation is a direct investment in your own career, by helping to elect our extraordinary slate of smart, committed and working members who rely on our contracts and our pension and health benefits just like you.
With your support, we are honored to continue volunteering our time to make this union stronger and better able to serve the membership.
But getting our message out to over 60,000 LA members costs real money. Many candidates and board members dig deep into their own wallets but we can’t run this campaign without your help.
Please donate whatever you can. And if you’re doing very well right now, $5,000 would really rock our world.
But bless you for every dime!
