SAG-AFTRA has signed on to a letter to President Trump urging federal action to address the outsourcing of American production.
Many SAG-AFTRA members have voiced deep concern about film and television production being increasingly drawn overseas due to foreign incentives. This shift has led to a decline in domestic job opportunities, leaving too many entertainment professionals struggling to support themselves and their families.
In response, SAG-AFTRA, along with a coalition of entertainment industry unions and studios, joined members Jon Voight and Sylvester Stallone in submitting a letter to President Trump outlining proposed steps to bolster film and television production in the United States. Earlier this year, the President appointed Voight and Stallone as Ambassadors to Hollywood.
SAG-AFTRA has signed on to this letter because we strongly support urgent federal action to address the outsourcing of American production. Prioritizing domestic jobs is essential to maintaining the U.S. entertainment industry's leadership on the global stage.
