Actors Launch 'One Job Away' Campaign as SAG-AFTRA Insurance Crisis Deepens
Cheyenne Jackson launched the 'One Job Away' social media campaign to help actors meet SAG-AFTRA's $28,000 annual earnings threshold for health insurance. The initiative, which has received hundreds of submissions, highlights a systemic crisis where veteran performers struggle to qualify for coverage due to declining work and rising costs. Meanwhile, SAG-AFTRA revealed that less than 1% of its 160,000 members will receive streaming bonuses, prompting union president Sean Astin to acknowledge a disconnect between the union's efforts and members' lived experiences.
