Actor March Led by Unknowns … But Stars Get Credit

VOICES-(Re CityWatch article ‘LA Actors Dilemma: Minimum Wage or Stipends?)  

Thanks for covering our march! Just a quick note. I know it's flashy to claim the march was led by these big name stars, but it wasn't. It was organized and led by 3 unknown, rank and file AEA members, all whom spoke as well. They just don't get the same press coverage. 

AEA's claim is completely false, this is not a battle led by a handful of wealthy actor/producers and theater owners. That was seen at the rally, where we had 400+ attendees marching, the majority of which were not celebs and none of which were theater owners or producers.
