Cheyenne Perez

Candidate: Local Board, Convention Delegate

Candidate Statement

I’m a working-class actor running for the LA Local Board to represent those making a living gig by gig. I serve as Vice Chair of the LA Organizing Committee and was a Strike Captain and Lot Organizer at Warner Bros. during the 2023 TV/Theatrical Strike. Since joining SAG-AFTRA in 2018, I’ve been committed to building member power from the ground up. I’m running to fight for accessible healthcare, enforceable contracts, and fair pay for all performers. It’s 2025—our union must meet this moment with courage, solidarity, and a clear vision for a stronger future.

Candidate Bio

I’m a working-class performer and unionist fighting for a SAG-AFTRA that serves all of us—not just the top earners. I’ve juggled survival jobs, lost healthcare, and still show up because this union is worth fighting for. As Vice Chair of the LA Organizing Committee and a Strike Captain at Warner Bros. in 2023, I believe our power lives in the rank-and-file.

I’m running to:

  • Organize non-union work

  • Demand enforceable contracts

  • Protect us from AI exploitation

  • Win healthcare and livable wages for every working performer

Let’s build from the bottom up.
