You know that Chris Fleming line that goes "Call yourself a community organizer even though you're not on speaking terms with your roommates"?

I honestly think every leftist who talks about the "revolution" like Christians talk about the rapture needs to spend a year trying to organize their workplace. Anyone who sincerely talks about building a movement so vast and all-encompassing that it overwhelms all existing power structures needs the dose of humility that comes with realizing they can't even build a movement to get people paid better at a badly run AMC Theaters where everyone already hates the manager.

ANIMATION FANS, WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!

Yesterday, the day before Lightbox Expo, over 800 TAG members marched to Netflix’ headquarters & delivered a petition demanding the AMPTP keep animation jobs union, agree to AI protections, & more. SHOW THE AMPTP YOU STAND WITH ANIMATION!!

Sign your name next to the people that make the shows you love: animationguild.org/tagpetition

WE REALLY REALLY REALLY NEED YOUR SUPPORT!! Over the years, I have been asked by numerous fans how they can help us keep the animation industry from collapsing. Taking this action now will directly help our fight! I’m on The Animation Guild’s negotiations committee this year. I have been in the conference call with the AMPTP.

They do not see us as human.

They want us to lose our jobs, our homes, and our entire livelihoods.

They want to REPLACE ALL OF US and give YOU AI-generated slop, because they do not fucking care about this industry.

PLEASE HELP!!

Okay so people have been talking a lot about why a movie/TV boycott is a bad idea and you shouldn’t do it (actors/writers need those residuals right now, we want to keep demand high, etc). And I’ve got to say as a union organizer that while all of those points may well be valid they are also... really not the point.

There isn’t a boycott because the striking workers have not called for a boycott. This is not about you! This is about the WGA and SAG-AFTRA’s strategic decisions! They might call for a boycott at some point if this is dragging out and they think it might help, and in that case you should be ready to boycott then!!! (Notice the language they have been using: “Neither the WGA or SAG-AFTRA is calling for a consumer boycott right now” (emphasis added by me). They’re absolutely leaving open the possibility of calling for a boycott in the future).

What matters here is centering whatever the unions are actually asking for, not what you think you/other fans should do, and recognizing that they know how their industry works and are choosing the strategy they are for a reason. Unions in general, and strikes in particular, succeed when people are on the same page about their tactics and are committed to working together. They’re not a fuck-the-man free-for-all.

So! Obviously your personal media consumption choices are ultimately your own, but lets keep in mind that there absolutely is not a call for a boycott right now, without dismissing the idea that their could be a boycott, yeah?
