Animation crews, take note!!
Both the writers guild and screen actors guild took a stand against AI and won.
Both fought for streaming participation (Ie: residuals!!!) and got it.
This should be us next summer when our contract is back up for negotiation!
SAG-AFTRA says their new deal, valued at $1 billion, includes…
• A streaming participation bonus
• “Above pattern” minimum compensation increases
• Substantial increases for pension & health caps
• Pay increases for background actors
• Contract provisions protecting diverse communities
• Major provisions for consent & compensation from AI.

Got 2 minutes? In July, WB & #CartoonNetwork production workers filed to unionize! #WB will evaluate support via public petition. Please sign & encourage voluntary recognition of the #union! You will make a difference! #TAG #animation

I was head writer of a show. It was all freelance for season 1, but had a staff for S2. The S1 writers were underpaid, which is a bad feeling, but also S2 had better writing because the staff didn't need to spread themselves thin to survive and was able to be immersed in the show
What happens when writer's rooms stop staffing and turn to a freelance-only model? You guessed it, the writers lose out. Freelancers get paid half as much as what a staff writer makes for writing the EXACT same script. Check the numbers and spread the word. #FreelanceNotFreeWork

In case you didn't already know, here's the quickest rundown we can give as to why writers are striking. Let's get the word out for anyone who's still confused: this is about the survival of writing as a sustainable career, period #WGAStrong

Be a Kermit the Frog. Have a creative vision and no ego. Recognize the unique talents of those around you. Attract weirdos. Manage chaos. Show kindness. Be sincere.

Hold the House. Add just 2 more Democratic Senators. Eliminate the filibuster and pass a bill codifying Roe into law. That's our job in November and it's doable. If you voted in 2020 and vote again in 2022, we will win.

Roe. Miranda. Gun control. Church and State. All dismantled in a single week. The single worst week for civil rights and liberties in decades.
