I cannot overstate how critical it is for members (and future members!) of @ActorsEquity to proactively and aggressively avoid breaking the @sagaftra strike. Know this: the other side will try to pit us against each other to keep churning out content. Don’t fall for it. (1/5)

If you are offered work of any kind for an #AMPTP employer, don’t take *any* third party’s word for it that “it’s okay” or “it’s not covered by the strike”…Call @sagaftra and ask whether performing the work in question will undermine the strike.(2/5)

Dear #LaborMovement: it’s time for us to wake up. Just about every single mass shooting, of course, happens in *somebody’s* workplace - whether perpetrated by a former colleague, a deranged terrorist or anyone else. (1) Imagine the world we could live in if we’d joined hands and followed where @rweingarten tried to lead us after #SandyHook: a world where responsible gun owners could still take their teenagers hunting and protect their homes, but very, very few had access to weapons of war.

Hey @NYCMayor! Happy Thursday. Would have been great to talk about this before it was announced. As you’ve probably noticed, actors work in close contact, overwhelmingly unmasked. politi.co/3IAPngc via @politico Even mild COVID can result in long-term lung damage, which…is relevant to things like singing, dancing, projecting your voice. We also work closely with non-performing colleagues: @ActorsEquity stage managers, @IATSE stagehands, wardrobe, and hair crew, for example.

Fact check: @sagaftra is claiming that we are fearful about the long-term viability of live theatre. Not only did we not say that, we don’t believe it. What we *actually* said is that we need to offer flexibility to our employers so they can survive this unprecedented crisis. What we *also* said was that their deferred-payment media agreements were built for films, not theatre.
