The voting to recast Fran Drescher as President of SAG-AFTRA was unequivocal enough.
Drescher whose words at the beginning of the strike resounded with many, and still does.
“These are dynamic times and as one member body, we will weather the storms, stand on our principles and make sure our major contributions to this collaborative art form shall never again be diminished but rather be exalted.”
Here's hoping she is able to get the deal for her members that is so needed, so that we can all move forward.

Fran has been doing incredible as President of SAG-AFTRA, Geoff Hall. Hope she and the SAG-AFTRA get a fair deal for members. And there's an informational meeting about the Interactive Media (Video Game) Agreement Strike Authorization today (https://twitter.com/sagaftra/status/1701604163644526844).

You're welcome, Geoff Hall. Other areas of the industry (and other industries) are fed up with making companies millions/billions while getting an unfair percentage -- among other issues. Looking forward to seeing how the Interactive Media Agreement Strike Authorization goes.

She has inspired, rallied and led. She's not backing down and she's trying to find a path forward from what I hear. Happy for her and hope she can help wind this down soon!

It would be awful to switch leadership at this stage of everything so I'm glad we have the same leaders for the foreseeable future!
