But sometimes, sacrifices must be made on the path to victory.
We owe a debt of gratitude to the immigrants who shaped the film industry we hold dear.
Their contributions have left an indelible mark on generations around the world.
To restore balance and equity, those actually involved in filmmaking had to establish labor unions.
From the moment I joined, SAG has always had my back.
Together, we stand as one, defending the rights and well-being of all SAG-AFTRA union members.
I extend my gratitude to those who understand the significance of our strike authorization.
This vote showcases our unwavering solidarity and commitment to one another.
Let us stand united, artists, filmmakers, and industry professionals, in unwavering support of the strike.
