Our film exposed many @sagaftra failures to protect child actors from sexual abusers

The same failures continue today under @TheGabrielle_C leadership

@sagaftra @TheGabrielle_C @MatthewModine 1. Michael Harrah was a member of @sagaftra Young Performers Committee
We got him to admit to inappropriate sexual behavior with a former child actor on camera

@sagaftra leaders didn't tell parents

They tried to cover it up & threatened to sue us!

@sagaftra @TheGabrielle_C @MatthewModine 2A. @sagaftra under @TheGabrielle_C has totally failed to enforce Child Protection Act of 2012, requiring those who work with children in Hollywood to pass a background check

SAG-AFTRA championed the act and lobbied for its passage!

@sagaftra @TheGabrielle_C @MatthewModine 2B. Six years later, a Deadline investigation found that not a single Hollywood publicist who represents child actors has obtained a permit

@sagaftra under @TheGabrielle_C has totally failed to enforce the basic law it lobbied for to protect children

@sagaftra @TheGabrielle_C @MatthewModine 3. Casting calls with sexualized descriptions of children go out regularly

This one was changed to "Young Lauren, 13, an absolute knockout"

@sagaftra has failed to prohibit this!

elect a NEW President @MatthewModine to better protect child actors

4. As always, our groundbreaking, critically acclaimed documentary exposing powerful Hollywood child molesters is FREE on Vimeo vimeo.com/142444429

Nothing changed since @sagaftra union meeting video talking child performers in 2012. 👀📺👇

Vote @MatthewModine & @JohnSchaech for #SAGAFTRA . They pledge to enforce protections for child actors & revoke convicted pedophiles membership💪
