Get Into the Game
One of the goals of the PTEOE is to engage more of the SAG-AFTRA membership in union activities. With arts
funding under threat, crucial negotiations coming up and the video games strike entering a new phase, member
involvement is more important than ever. Want to get involved? Here are four ways members can channel their
energy and inspiration into actions happening now.
VIDEO GAMES STRIKE
SAG-AFTRA has been ramping up the pressure on the
11 struck video game companies. From social media virtual
pickets to a rally near SAG-AFTRA Plaza, the membership
has been engaged in helping bring about a fair deal for
voiceover and performance-capture artists. Want to join
the effort? Sign up online at sagaftra.org/interactive.
A CALL TO ARTS
Together with the former Obama administration and AFI,
SAG-AFTRA recently achieved the goal of reaching 1 million
volunteer hours in service to our communities and the next
generation of artists. But it's not too late to contribute.
You can get started, or register mentor hours by visiting
sagaftra.org/acalltoarts.
GET INVOLVED
SAG-AFTRA locals are regularly hosting educational
opportunities, calls to action, mixers and membership
meetings. The new member app is a good resource to
learn about what is happening in your local. There's
also local information on the SAG-AFTRA website at
sagaftra.org/locals.
SHOW US YOUR CARD
The SAG-AFTRA membership card is a source of pride
and often the jumping-off point for an exciting story. As
SAG-AFTRA readies for its third convention in fall 2017,
we want to hear yours. Tell us why you are proud to be
a SAG-AFTRA member. Submit your inspiring story at
