"It has been my honor to serve my fellow actors and try to give back to my profession for the great opportunity that this Union has afforded me. I have consistently stood up against National Board decisions like older members losing out on their residuals and losing their health benefits and I always opposed discrimination of vaccine mandates. As your LA National Board Member I promise to never bow to the mob that wants to take away YOUR rights and benefits."

"Most importantly this Union has been the backbone of stability and security for me, my family, and the rest of us who have worked so hard to become members. It is essential that we stay current with our industry, and evolve together, to further the interests and needs of our fellow artists. We must navigate in solidarity to support and realistically maintain the health, the education, and the welfare of our precious union. I want to continue to serve us on our board, as there is still important work to do. With integrity, devotion, and intelligence."

Member since 2000 - inducted in Philadelphia. Worked various markets as principal and background. "Prior to the democide, I was on a principal role roll. Then, the c-19 "tests" and injection rolled out. Due to research and strong beliefs, I said, "No." The financial aspect of my SAG-AFTRA jobs rolled to a halt. Documented (in email) speaking out to SAG-AFTRA May 2020 onward for ALL. Am utilizing law for restitution. Inclusion has been a life-long practice, free from politics, steming from soul. (I’m organic- vegan) Thanks for your attention to elect ethical candidates, based upon your research. " Priorities: Protection, Accountability, Ethics

This isn't funny. MEMBERSHIPFIRST and UNITE FOR STRENGTH sold us out! They promised to fight for working comedians, fair wages, proper healthcare, and meaningful pensions. Instead, we got platitudes and bad deals, shaking hands with executives who exploit us. This leaves us with dry spells and shrinking opportunities. Our art is devalued, our voices silenced by the corporate machine. We deserve better than these false champions. It’s time to truly UNITE and reclaim what's ours: our laughs, our stages, our honest jokes. Vote Chuck Slavin National President. https://marilynmonroviacomedy.com

 "I’m an INDEPENDENT thinker/candidate, here to serve our common interests. It’s time to change the guard to benefit all members. Your participation is crucial. Salaries, working conditions and pension/health plans - hard won gains - have slowly been eroded under weak contracts sold as gains and political infighting. Having a union should leverage our collective power in negotiations. Independent candidates are our best bet going forward."

"Are you making a living as a performer? Qualified for P & H, especially if you're a senior? Happy with your residuals? Got unreasonable self-tape requests? Your vote is power. You are casting a project called "SAG-AFTRA Leadership". Select people who will serve your needs. Those you elect will advocate for fair pay, safe sets and secure Pension and Health Plans, if you choose wisely. I definitely will! Member since age 3, Convention Delegate 2017, 2019 and 2021, National Board Replacement, Co-Chair M.O.V.E. and Chair Open Board Committees, LA Fed Representative."

I am your candidate for Los Angeles Convention Delegate #309. I’ve worked under a SAG-AFTRA contract as an Actor, Stand-In, Voiceover Artist, and Background Artist. I’ve served on the Stand-In Committee. I know all the rules, and I know all the current issues. I will work hard in fighting for EVERYONE’S interests, because I’m every part of the union, and everyone matters here. Thank you!

"I am an INDEPENDENT candidate. From 2005-2009 I was honored to serve as SAG National President. I served then and am running now because our members remain in crisis. With every new technology (DVD, streaming, AI) our compensation diminishes as our employers create revenue streams. Never do we adequately participate in the billions our work generates. This deficiency threatens to turn professional actors into hobbyists. I pledge to fight on your behalf."

"INDEPENDENT Board Members pledge to: make whole thousands of our Senior Performers who, three years ago, were abandoned by the very Health Plan that they, for decades, paid into; oversee forensic audits of our Pension and Health Plans; remedy the pension disparity that forces you to accrue at a lower rate than your own paid employees; open all National and Local Board meetings--sunshine is our best disinfectant. As an LA Local Board Incumbent, National Board Replacement, and M.O.V.E. Committee Co-Chair, I know that solutions are yours for the voting when you elect INDEPENDENT Board Members."
