Meetings are Round Robin, meaning everyone takes a turn speaking, no one speaks twice until everyone else has in turn. It’s surprising how often someone else speaks about your concerns, surprising too, how good it feels to be really heard.
In Solidarity, for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice.

Hello IATSE Local 13 Co-Workers and Friends,
Please join us for the IATSE 21-Day Human and Civil Rights Equity Challenge starting March 9, 2026.
Entertainment industry struggles with prejudice and misunderstanding the perspectives and needs of other workers based on bias. It keeps us divided, and distrustful. This Challenge is a major step to build a stronger union based on respect through listening, good communication and relationship building.
During the challenge, participants read, listen, observe, or watch something every day for 21 consecutive days to further their understanding of history, context, expression, and experience. Developed by the IATSE International, here is a link to the challenge: https://iatse.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/2026_21-Day-Human-and-Civil-Rights-Equity-Challenge-FINAL.pdf
Local 13 worker participants will also get together on four consecutive Monday night zoom workshops, 7 to 830 pm, to discuss the materials with critical but open minds. We'll process who we are, how we got here, the nature of different social intersections and how relations between them can either be destructive or brilliantly empowerful.
Participants receive 4 Work-Day credits with Local 13 towards seniority.
The Local was unanimous in the decision to sponsor this event.
Please register. 21 Day Challenge
