We Are The Union
<p>Have you ever heard someone say, “A union is only as strong as its members?” As much as that might want to make you roll your eyes (and I get it, been there done that) it’s totally true. </p><p>In this episode I talk all about how we think about unions, how we should think about unions, and why it’s so important to reframe the way we think about the unions that represent us. </p><p><br /></p><p>Check out @assemblyguide on Instagram and follow or subscribe for upcoming episodes.

How to Make Actors' Equity Association Function FOR You
<p>Are you a professional actor or stage manager? Do you want Actors’ Equity Association to function FOR you, but you don’t have a lot of time or energy to dedicate to it at this moment? This episode details 2 super easy action steps you can take as a member working ANY contract to help ensure AEA more effectively functions for you and the changes you want to see.</p><p>Achieving the changes we want to see requires us owning our agency and ensuring we’re a part of making that change by ensuring the union functions FOR us (and not unintentionally making those changes more difficult to achieve by undermining or weakening the union). Tune in, follow these steps, and I guarantee we will see our union begin to start functioning more effectively for the changes we want to see in our contracts, our workspaces, and day-to-day lives as professional actors and stage managers. </p><p>All opinions are my own, and I do not in any way represent or speak on behalf of Actors’ Equity Association. </p><p><br></p><p>Check out @assemblyguide on Instagram and follow or subscribe for upcoming episodes.
