@hollyweirdnorth.bsky.social#ACTRAToronto President Ziegler was dumbstruck by the news that a commercial lock-out had come into effect in 2022.
Commercials were her primary source of income. She was worried that she might have to sell her house
She was reduced (financially) to waiting on tables.
@hollyweirdnorth.bsky.socialKate Ziegler wouldn't have become #ACTRAToronto President if she hadn't gone around #ACTRA leaders and reached out directly to the members.
She formed the RCAP (Rank and file Caucus of ACTRA Performers) and capitalized on the membership's dissatisfaction with ACTRA's leadership
@hollyweirdnorth.bsky.social#ACTRAToronto President Ziegler is misrepresenting the vast majority of the 15,000 'Artists' she was elected to serve when she uses herself as an example.
Her story is not their story. Her success is not their success. They aren't paying their bills vicariously through her.
