Join the Washington-Mid Atlantic NextGen Committee and your fellow SAG-AFTRA members on Martin Luther King Jr. Day (Monday, January 15, 2024) for a Day of Service at Picnic Grove #1 in Rock Creek Park (Near Peirce Mill and 3998 Spring of Freedom St NW, Washington, D.C, 20008). We will be working with the Rock Creek Conservancy, the National Park Service, and Blue Planet Scuba for a litter removal restoration event in Rock Creek Park. Trash is the visible form of stormwater pollution, a major threat to water quality and park health and its removal makes the parklands cleaner, safer, and more beautiful for all.

Please dress appropriately for the work and weather. They recommend wearing sturdy boots or sneakers and long layers, including pants and long sleeves. They also recommend bringing water, and snacks if desired. Tools and supplies will be provided. Please bring your own gloves if you have them. 

Event location, directions, and information will be sent from the Rock Creek Conservancy event leader 24 hours prior to the event.

We’d love to meet you at our next SAG-AFTRA Los Angeles Member Orientation. It’s fun to meet and get to know the members who are just getting started as well as those that are helping to orientate you as you grow in your career.

Being a member of the union is so much more powerful than you may realize. You’re now part of the entertainment labor movement, part of an army to protect and increase the value of our art, part of a family of 160,000 members nationwide that have each others’ backs, and you now have another place to call home.

In order to take advantage of every way your membership in the union can support your success, it is vitally important that you understand how your union works and how you can and should get involved.

A member orientation is the first step to learning everything you need to know.

In the orientation, we'll cover:

• How your union is set up and governed here in Los Angeles and across the country. 
• Contracts - what you need to know to feel safe, respected, and not losing money.
• Benefits of membership - education, networking, healthcare and pension.
• Membership rules.
• The categories of performers covered by the union.
• Sister unions, guilds, organizations and associations that support our membership.

Plus, we’ll answer your questions in a relaxed, open forum.

RSVP Required: Log in to see the form below and RSVP by Mar. 11 at 12 noon PT.

Please note: You will receive your unique Zoom information the day before the meeting from SAG AFTRA LA Local <no-reply@zoom.us>. If you have trouble joining the Zoom meeting, please email webhelp@sagaftra.org or call (855) 724-2387.

Members must have a registered Zoom account in order to participate and will receive a unique Zoom link that is not transferable. You must use a Zoom account with the same email address that was submitted with the RSVP. 

Members will be expected to engage with professionalism and courtesy.

Questions? Please email larsvp@sagaftra.org.
