Actors' Equity Association has issued a statement in response to both the House and the Senate voting to pass the American Rescue Plan Act.
"This pandemic has been especially brutal on arts workers; most of us have been unemployed for a year now, and are desperate to get back to work the moment it's safe. In the meantime, the need for relief is real and urgent," said Kate Shindle, president of Actors' Equity Association. "This passage shows us that it's possible to provide meaningful assistance to American workers during a crisis, and that we have to continue raising our voices. We are so grateful to the members of Congress who saw this through - including Speaker Pelosi and Leader Schumer - and of course to President Biden, who has championed this crucial legislation."
