BACK ON THE PICKET LINE - SAG-AFTRA VIDEO GAME STRIKES CONTINUE

Let's be honest. While I have some experience playing video games, I cannot begin to claim that I have any experience working on them. Hopefully that will change some day soon. As for now though, the video game industry has become a less accessible place for SAG-AFTRA talent who want to share their skills in safe and fair work environment. So, they have done what a union is designed to do in a situation like this and as of June 6th 2024, have been on Strike! I joined the many amazing video game performers on the picket line in the early Fall and have to say that I was beyond inspired by their tenacity and grit, their compradore and clarity of mission. If I wasn't already wanting to play in their world of mo-cap suits and digital captured performance before, I most certainly am now after having met such awesome and driven people. I simply can't do justice to explaining both the value to their contributions or importance to their cause in my own words, so I've provided a this link sagaftra.org/videogamestrike as well as posted what I believe to be relevant videos below for anyone interested. I am certain that they will be grateful for any/all support there is to be offered.
