Give Animation Guild members a fair contract!
Members of The Animation Guild (TAG), IATSE Local 839, are facing unprecedented levels of unemployment despite animation outperforming on screens and in merchandise sales. We kept content alive during the COVID lockdown yet, we are now losing our healthcare, homes, and livelihoods. TAG is currently in negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), and we are fighting to get the best deal possible for animation workers that includes fair wages, job security, and common-sense guardrails around Generative AI use. This petition shows employers that TAG members will stand together for as long as it takes to get a good contract!

Thor A. HoplandHow DARE they only do part of the work? Why, I thought Seth McFarlane was doing the voices, writing the scripts, drawing every frame, AND NOW I'M DISILLUSIONED!!!
...well, not really, but that's because I #standwithanimation . There is so much talent that is now on the brink of being phased out because "animation is not profitable enough", or translation: "we were hoping #generativeAI would have taken over by now".
Let ToonarificTarique give credit where credit is due.
