| To: | All Senate members |
| Subject: | Resolution - Designating May as SAG-AFTRA month in PA |
| In the near future, I plan on introducing a resolution to name May 2014 SAG/AFTRA month in Pennsylvania. This declaration is to acknowledge the many contributions, culturally and economically, the film and theater industry have made to our Commonwealth. So many wonderful feature films, independent films, television programs and other forms of entertainment have been produced here, shot on location in Pennsylvania and incorporated PA resident actors. SAG-AFTRA brings together two great American labor unions: Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. Both were formed in the turmoil of the 1930s, with rich histories of fighting for and securing the strongest protections for media artists. Our members united to form the successor union in order to preserve those hard-won rights and to continue the struggle to extend and expand those protections into the 21st century and beyond. SAG-AFTRA represents more than 160,000 actors, announcers, broadcasters journalists, dancers, DJs, news writers, news editors, program hosts, puppeteers, recording artists, singers, stunt performers, voiceover artists and other media professionals. Please join me in honoring the men and women of SAG-AFTRA to dedicate the month of May 2014 as SAG-AFTRA month in PA. Thank you. |
