AB 2319, the bill to create a standalone Californi

AB 2319, the bill to create a standalone California post-production tax incentive, is entering one of its most important stages. 🚨

After overwhelmingly passing the Senate Revenue and Taxation Committee, the bill now heads to the Senate Appropriations Committee. The thousands of letters and phone calls from Guild members and allies have been essential to getting AB 2319 this far. Now we're asking you to show your support once again.

Take a minute to send a letter urging Senator Sabrina Cervantes, Senator Monique Limón, and Governor Gavin Newsom to support the creation of a standalone California post-production tax incentive. Then, ask your friends and family in California to do the same.

Over the next few pivotal weeks, we need to keep raising our voices to help bring union post-production jobs back to #California.

Great news! 🎉

AB 2319, the bill to create a standalone California post-production tax incentive, passed a key Senate committee vote yesterday and gained three new coauthors.

Now we need Governor Gavin Newsom's support to secure funding for the tax incentive in the state budget.

If you're a California member, family member, or friend, please contact the Governor today and urge him to support funding for the post-production tax incentive.

"The letters our members submit to the California

"The letters our members submit to the California Legislature are the rocket fuel needed to pass the stand-alone California Post-Production Tax Credit (AB 2319). I encourage all our California members, family, and friends to write the Senate Committee on Revenue and Taxation. Believe me, they make all the difference!"

We are calling on members and supporters to write a letter to the CEO of Theorist Media 🗣️

A supermajority of Theorist workers (@teamtheorist) have already called on Theorist Media and Lunar X to voluntarily recognize their union with IATSE and WGAW. The company continues to refuse.

Join us in sending a clear message: recognize the union and respect workers' voices.

☕ Coffee with the Reps is coming to Walt Disney St

☕ Coffee with the Reps is coming to Walt Disney Studios!

Local 700 field representatives will be on site Wednesday, June 17, to connect with members, answer questions, hear concerns, and say hello.

Whether you're working on the lot or primarily working from home, this is a great opportunity to stop by, meet your reps, and stay connected with your Guild.

📍 Walt Disney Studios
📅 June 17
☕ Coffee, conversation, and Guild resources

See you there!

(This event is open only to Local 700 members who are currently working for and have access to Walt Disney Studios)

This Saturday, June 13th, members of @IATSE Local

This Saturday, June 13th, members of @IATSE Local B-192 and Unite HERE Local 11 — together representing more than 6,000 employees at Universal Studios Hollywood theme park & CityWalk — will join for a rally and march starting at 5:00 pm!

We encourage all Local members who are able to attend to join in solidarity. RSVP is not required to attend.

📍 LOCATION: Universal Studios Hollywood CityWalk, starting near Buca di Beppo (located near the valet turnaround area)

✊ PURPOSE: Universal generates billions for Comcast, yet many members still struggle to make ends meet. As the company prepares to open a new Fast & Furious attraction, it's offering workers just 2.25% wage increases. We demand and deserve our fair share, and we are fighting for it!

🪧 MATERIALS: We will have picket signs and banners for everyone although people can bring some in support, too.

See you there! 🔥
