In celebration of May Day, TAG invites you to an online screening of Love and Solidarity on Wed., Apr. 30 from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. PST. This short documentary introduces nonviolence in the civil rights movement and how—with Reverend James Lawson Jr. and UNITE HERE Local 11—it transformed the Los Angeles labor movement. Disney, DreamWorks, and Paramount workers are especially encouraged to attend to learn how to support our Union kin who are currently fighting for a better contract alongside us in our studio workspaces. The 38-minute film will be followed by a conversation with guest speaker Pastor Bridie Roberts, Community Organizing Director of UNITE HERE Local 11. Register here to attend the screening.

Please join us for the May Day March and Rally on Thurs., May 1 at 9 a.m. in downtown L.A. As a member of the May Day Coalition, TAG is a sponsor of this event and encourages our members to attend in solidarity. RSVP here
