Weekly Fireside Chat with Foundation President Courtney B. Vance 6/15/20
Please watch our latest weekly Fireside Chat from our President Courtney B. Vance who gives an update on our COVID-19 Relief Fund (https://sagaftra.foundation/covid19relief) and speaks to the power of positive thinking.
Although California has given the greenlight for California productions to resume as long as safety protocols are followed, SAG-AFTRA and other industry unions have released “The Safe Way Forward,” (https://sagaftra.org/backtowork) a Multi-Union Report on COVID-19 Safety Guidelines. While this is certainly not an overnight fix, it does signify that there is light to be found at the end of the tunnel.
In three months time, we’ve managed to give over $5.1 million emergency aid to thousands of our fellow performers and counting. Applications are taking about a week to process, so as always, be sure to check the site for any and all updates. If you’re in a position to donate (https://sagaftra.foundation/donate), please consider doing so as our Fund continues to give aid to our community.
Also, Courtney encourages you to let your goals be heard by posting a video with something positive you’re striving for. Whether it’s good health, resumed work, or social change, Courtney wants to hear about it so we can all work together in mutual support to helping you realize it. Please post a video under 30 seconds to Instagram or Twitter using #SAFBetterDays. We’ll showcase these in a future chat.
Stay safe and connected,
SAG-AFTRA Foundation
