In Solidarity

On October 15, 2022, nineteen Los Angeles locals hosted the “All In” IATSE Hollywood Mixer and PAC fundraiser. The event was attended by over 500 IA members from locals all over the country. Members had fun, got to reconnect with old friends, met new ones to add to their network and play games that helped them mix. By the end of the event, over $19,000 was raised for the IATSE Federal PAC. CDG Executive Director and mixer organizer Brigitta Romanov says, “My goal for the night was to create solidarity with all the locals, to have our members feel what it means to be a part of a union and to raise money for the PAC. We wanted an event to celebrate our members and say thank you, not just when there are negotiations or an election, but to build real solidarity, the foundation of unionism. The PAC ensures that the IATSE has an even stronger voice when advocating for Labor’s values. The union is only as strong as the members’ participation.”
