Fighting Forward, Together.

We are a coalition of member-leaders committed to building a stronger, more responsive union — one that respects members as the independent professionals they are, and puts their needs before the interests of our employers.

Our mission is rooted in transparency, inclusion, and empowerment. We fight to ensure that your ideas and priorities are heard — not just during contract campaigns, but through ongoing engagement: meaningful W&Ws, open forums, and the newly approved LA Local Town Halls designed to bring leadership directly to members.

We believe in a culture of real inclusion and real power — built through robust, informed participation. That means engaging members before decisions are made, not just after. It means ensuring every category and community — across locals and across the country — has a seat at the table, access to union resources, and a real voice in shaping our future.

Bringing together veteran activist-negotiators and a bold new wave of non-partisan, rank-and-file careerists, this coalition is ready to lead with experience and cutting edge vision. We know what’s working. And we’re ready to challenge what isn’t. That balance of continuity and courage is what makes this team uniquely equipped to lead meaningful, lasting change.

We are building on hard-won progress, and course-correcting where needed:

• Artificial Intelligence: We established first-ever protections — and we’re pushing for stronger, enforceable safeguards.
  

• Pension & Health: We secured the first major employer contribution increase to caps in decades — and that’s just the start.
  

• Self-Tape Guidelines: We got them into the contract — now we’re fighting for enforcement.
  

• Streaming Bonus: We set a long-overdue floor — and we’re ready to raise it.
  

• Access to Benefits: We’re fighting for real access — expanding pathways to Pension and Health coverage for more of our members and our families.
  
  

None of this existed in prior contracts. This coalition includes leaders who helped win key gains — and we’re ready to build on that progress.

Grounded in experience, driven by purpose — we're ready to move SAG-AFTRA forward.
