SUPPORT OUR KIN AFFECTED BY THE LA WILDFIRES

At last weekend's General Membership Meeting, the membership voted to support our Kin in California with the devastating impact of the wildfires, in the amount of $10,000. Over 250 IATSE members have lost their homes in the fire, and that number has the potential to rise.

Should you wish to make your own donation, IATSE International supports those who have been impacted by natural disasters via the Richard F. Walsh/Alfred W. Di Tolla/Harold P. Spivak Foundation. Instructions for how to donate can be found here.

We thank the Officials, Officers and Membership for supporting our Kin in need as they face restoring and rebuilding their homes, communities, and lives.
