We need all available SAG-AFTRA members to join us for a rally in Concord at the Capitol at 8 a.m. to send a message that so-called “Right to Work” is wrong for New Hampshire. Wear your SAG-AFTRA Strong shirts. Signs will be provided by NH AFL-CIO.

What: Rally with the New Hampshire AFL-CIO to oppose Right to Work legislation

When: 8 a.m. Thursday, February 13

Where: New Hampshire State House, 107 North Main Street, Concord NH 03301

New Hampshire members can also take action now by contacting their representatives directly to demand that legislators stand up for hardworking families and reject this harmful legislation and oppose HB 238-FN!

The 48 Hour Film Project (48HFP) will be in four New England cities in 2025 and SAG-AFTRA has them all covered! Join this Zoom Conservatory to meet the four city producers who manage the New England weekends in Boston, Providence, New Haven and Portland and learn the guidelines for these energetic, fun and wildly creative 48 hours of filmmaking. Teams have one weekend to write, shoot, and edit a short film. Anyone can lead a team and any SAG-AFTRA member can participate in front or behind the camera! The 48HFP is a great way to build industry connections! 

Panelists:

• Andrew Osborne is the city producer of the Boston 48HFP (May 2–5, 2025). He works as a freelance writer, teacher and director.
• Mel Rainsberger is the city producer of the Providence 48HFP (June 27–29, 2025). She is a lifelong fan of finding creative energy through friendly competition.
