ACTIVATE a Committee

Do you want to actively fight for issues inside the union, within the labour movement, and in our communities, locally, nationally, and internationally? Are you interested in advocating for yourself and your fellow Members? If so, let us know!

These committees will be a forum where Members can:

  • Identify and articulate challenges and/or inequities they have experienced and/or observed while working in the film, television and digital media industry

  • Discuss how to recruit and retain a workforce that is reflective of our diverse community

  • Brainstorm ways in which our union can become more equitable and accessible

  • Recommend policies and support structures that promote more inclusive work environments and dismantle systematic barriers.

START NOW!

Activate a committee! These standing committees need members like you to get going - please email the office if you’re interested in getting involved!
