After 118 Days, The SAG-AFTRA Strike Is Over

The SAG-AFTRA Emergency Relief Fund assists members who are in urgent financial need due to an unexpected life crisis, for example, emergency medical treatment or a natural disaster.

Union members are falling into increased hardship as they go for longer without work and the fund is coming under pressure. Expenses that members would normally be able to cover, are bringing them to the breadline. The strain on the SAG-AFTRA Emergency Relief Fund has become so great that President Courtney B. Vance and executive director Cyd Wilson sent a letter to the Hollywood Glitterati for aid, and in true superhero style, the Rock rushed to the phone.

Dwayne Johnson’s donation will ensure that members have a safety net as they continue to stand up for workers' rights in the industry.
