Actors’ Equity Mounts A Letter-Writing Campaign For Laid-Off Workers

Here’s part of the letter (note: not a lot of actors are “middle-class” either) for the campaign as shared in tweets on Sunday: “Now is the time for Congress and local governments to put workers first to ensure that everyone who works in the arts and entertainment sector has access to emergency paid leave, health care and unemployment benefits. Payroll tax cuts won’t help those whose theaters are now dark. For every middle-class actor you see onstage, there are dozens more working behind the scenes and in an administrative capacity.” – Los Angeles Times
