We can definitely use more contributions and the community is a very caring community and has been very good about assisting in the past. We're counting on them to once again come forward and help out.
They want to form partnerships with our employers rather than stand up and fight for our fair share. What we want to do is stay at the bargaining table and go for the best deal we can get.
The recent election made clear that our membership expects concrete results, particularly in our collective bargaining and our nationwide organizing efforts.
While the increase in roles for performers over 40 and in roles for Asian/Pacific Islanders is encouraging, overall casting trends continue to disappoint. We will continue working to ensure that those doing the hiring have more exposure to the vast diversity of talent that exists among the guild's membership.
Aside from my family, I have two great loves in my life: acting and the fight for social justice.
This is a significant and well-deserved victory for the many actors who work under this contract, specifically day performers. I'm proud of the work done by our negotiating committee and staff, who were able to improve this contract for the first time in two decades. This demonstrates that producers and performers can work together to achieve results that benefit both sides and keep our industry moving forward.
The sharp increase of product placement in film and television too often takes place without any compensation to the very performers that are expected to push those products -- and more often is done without any consultation with those performers and their representatives. It is time for producers to work with artists on this issue, and the best way to do that is to establish a cooperative code of conduct that will protect the artist, the viewing public and advertiser-supported, free television.
The statistics this year are again disturbing and the industry must begin to address this downward trend.
I am looking forward to leading this organization, to working with our new board and the staff and ensuring Screen Actors Guild is the great and powerful organization it has been and always will be,
I am honored that the members of this great union have placed their confidence in me. I ran a campaign that offered a simple and straightforward promise -- I will fight like hell to get actors their fair share.
I am honored, excited and ready to run. I believe in more transparency within the Screen Actors Guild. I don't believe in spin.
One of the great things about unions is they're member driven and give us the great ability to both lead and follow at the same time.
We need consultation and eventually we need compensation. Whatever happened to artistic integrity? When did we lose the right to say yes or no?
A lot of the single moms just living paycheck to paycheck are finding it difficult.
