Sisters, Brothers, Kin—

I sincerely hope that you and your loved ones are staying safe.

I just published a video outlining our union’s ongoing efforts to support members during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In these unsure times and with the spirit of “Taking Care of Our Own”, on Wednesday, April 8, 2020, the IA West Coast Office will be hosting a L.A. County Fed sponsored Food Bank-Drive-Thru for our IATSE sisters and brothers.

If you and your family need assistance, please contact me by phone (818) 954-0728 or email ([email protected]).  Your request will be kept confidential. 

This has come together quickly, and I will need a response by April 3, 2020 so enough bags are prepared and on hand.

What is in the Family’s First Act in response to the coronavirus pandemic; with cash and assistance for regular Americans, Main Street businesses and hard-hit airlines and manufacturers among others.
