SAG-AFTRA members Mark Ruffalo, Ramy Youssef, Susan Sarandon, Melissa Barrera and Cynthia Nixon are among the hundreds of union members calling on their organization’s leadership to keep people from being blacklisted for their views on Palestine.

In a statement provided with an open letter from organization SAG-AFTRA and Sister Guild Members for Ceasefire, members claim their numerous attempts to communicate with leadership about their concerns and work on a ceasefire statement together have been consistently ignored. When asked, SAG-AFTRA declined to comment on the claim or the letter.

    Cool group of people and glad they’re standing on the issue, but wow. This is where Hollywood is at with this issue, huh?

      Hollywood has always been that way. The leader of sag aftra happily blacklisted members just based on “suspicion” of being “communist” back in the 50s. They made him president of the country.
