"As we approach the awards show weekend, we are receiving more questions about SAG-AFTRA ’s efforts to address the issue of harassment and inequity in our industry," President Gabrielle Carteris and national executive director David White previously said in a message. "We welcome the attention and are thrilled with the forceful initiatives now underway to eradicate this terrible disease that is pervasive in our society and industry...It is important that you know that SAG-AFTRA is directly engaged in these efforts, and that we are continuing to expand our own efforts to address the issue through our own channels."
