Cynthia Nixon Instagram – It has been one week since the @sagaftra strike began (and 80 days since the writer strike began) so I asked @cynthiaenixon to help us understand why they are striking and what exactly is at stake. And for those of you asking about resources available: The SAG-AFTRA Foundation operates an Emergency Financial Assistance Program for SAG-AFTRA members in urgent need — and there are thousands of members on strike who need help and will continue to need help as this strike goes on. The Foundation is a charitable nonprofit that supports SAG-AFTRA artists with emergency financial assistance and educational programs and it relies entirely on donations. If you want to support the performers on strike, please donate to the Foundation’s Emergency Financial Assistance Program which goes directly to the performers who are impacted by this work stoppage and need it most.
