We are in the most critical moment of our fight to expand and modernize our California film and television jobs program.

Simply put, we will need the voices of every single member, small business, family members, friends and colleagues to get this across the finish lines in the coming week. The toughest part of this fight remains in front of us.

We need to continue to ring the alarm to our elected officials to remind them that our California Film and Television Jobs program:

• Embodies the values of our state.
• Is the only program in the world that allocates incentives solely based on which production creates the most jobs.
• Is the only program that has a robust set safety framework in place to protect workers.
• Is the only program that includes the requirement of private sector funding for expanding the pipeline for underrepresented communities to access these middle-class careers.

While we recognize this is a difficult budget year, our Industry program generates local and state tax revenue, supports employment, stimulates small business growth and attracts tourism to our great state

When our Industry thrives, California thrives.
