SAG-AFTRA Expands “Quick Photo Op” Strike Events To Orlando, Atlanta & Honolulu.
SAG-AFTRA is expanding its strike activities outside Los Angeles and New York this week, with picket lines and rallies in Orlando, Atlanta, and Hawaii.
In Orlando, SAG-AFTRA members will rally outside the entrance of the Disney Resort this afternoon for a “quick photo op,” the guild says. In Atlanta, the guild will hold a strike-support rally tonight at the offices of IATSE Local 479. This morning, actors assembled for another “quick photo op” at the Magic Island Beach Park in Honolulu; a rally is also planned for Tuesday at the Hawaii state capitol.
Picket signs and strike-support T-shirts will be provided at each location; the guild said, “While supplies last.”
Most picketing remains in Los Angeles and New York on the fourth day of the strike. In L.A., where picketing will take place until noon PT today because of the heat, the guild will continue picketing outside all the major studios. In New York, picketing occurs at the offices of Netflix, Warner Bros Discovery, Amazon, HBO, Paramount+, and NBCUniversal.
But the guild has told its members that more events will be held nationwide in the coming days.
“We are a national union, and we are actively working to identify picket line, rally, and leafleting locations across the country,” the guild told its members on its website. “We’ll add them here once that’s done, so check back frequently and watch your email and SAG-AFTRA’s social media for updates about new opportunities to support the strike. If you have ideas for rallies, leafleting events, and other ways to support the strike, please email your local’s executive director.”
