GIAA member Corrina Castro tagged GIAA in an Instagram post - Jill Biden will be the first Italian-American first lady.

She was born Jill Jacobs, but that was apparently changed from the Giacoppo of her Sicilian grandfather.

AEMI update 11/12/2020 I approved below: CarloFiorletta@giaa.us 

Hi everyone, 

Given the possibility of a COVID-19 deal during the lame duck session of Congress, we believe it is prudent to send an updated letter to the Hill to remind legislators that union creative professionals impacted by the pandemic urgently need continued economic support. 

Please see the attached draft of the letter for your review. Aside from a new introduction, the letter's content remains substantively unchanged from our April 2020 letter with two exceptions: 1. We updated the emergency supplemental federal arts funding request to reflect our current $9 billion ask, and 2. We adjusted language in the workplace safety section to reflect that more creative professionals have returned to workplaces since the start of the pandemic. 

Because the AEMI unions previously approved these priorities, we will use an opt-out review process. Let us know by COB tomorrow, Friday, Nov. 13th if your union objects to this letter. Otherwise, we will presume that folks are okay with this letter going to the Hill on Monday. 

As always, please directly email me with any questions. 

Best,

Michael

AEA remote work email:

Dear Carlo,   We want to provide a brief update to you regarding our ongoing dispute with SAG-AFTRA regarding remote work in theaters.   We have agreed to attempt to mediate this dispute and we have also agreed to not publicly comment on these matters while we are in mediation. We are asking others to do the same and give the mediation process the space to succeed.   This has been a difficult and challenging time for everyone in the arts. We know that many of you have found this disagreement frustrating. Equity first suggested using an outside facilitator in August to resolve this dispute, and reaching mutual agreement on a mediator with SAG-AFTRA marks a welcome step forward.    In the meantime, you can learn more about remote work in the member portal.   In solidarity,   Actors' Equity Association
