"Now in its 3rd and final year, the tri-union I AM PWD campaign has gone global.
With support from AFL-CIO, US Dept. of Labor, ACTRA (Canada), and FIA (International
Federation of Actors), we're not only effecting the lives of performers with
disabilities, but workers with disabilities in general. At our culminating
event this coming fall, we'll demonstrate our continuing work for more Inclusion
in the Arts & Media of People With Disabilities." - Anita Hollander |

We asked AftraNOW member Anita Hollander to provide an update on the I AM PWD campaign which began as an excellent tri-union
effort to raise awareness of performers with disabilities and became a global
success. Her quote below. And here's a link to a recent Hollywood Reporter piece that quotes her. The best work we do is the work that serves others. Just ask Anita. |
