"I AIN'T NO AI" - A Rallying Cry To 2023 Striking Actors

Unions are the backbone of fair labor and actors are the backbone of Hollywood entertainment and its powerful, colossal studios. Unions are what keep the playing field somewhat fair between the metaphoric "David and Goliath." If you support all of us "Davids" ... and collective bargaining, negotiated by union leaders as we are challenged by the "Goliaths," please listen.

As a long-time SAG-AFTRA member, I wrote, arranged, produced and performed, "I AIN'T NO AI" to depict the struggles of SAG actors in this current historic strike, as the struggles relates to the usage of actors and artificial intelligence (AI). AS HUMANS, ACTORS SHOULD OWN THEMSELVES, IN PERPETUITY. I could be wrong, but I think THAT self-ownership precedent has long since been set. This song, a self-professed rallying cry, is my own unique "activist" way of getting that message across.

As a long-time SAG-AFTRA member, I wrote, arranged, produced and performed, "I AIN'T NO AI" to depict the struggles of SAG actors in this current historic strike, as our struggles relate?to the usage of actors and artificial intelligence (AI).

We should be able to "OWN" ourselves.

My parents were both union members /?laborers, and it's through the collective bargaining of strong union leaders that they earned good wages?that?allowed us (me) to live a solid, middle-class life. That life included a brand new home; me with my own room, and a brand new car for the kids when we?became teens.?

At age 19, I worked a summer in a union shop; a textile mill, before transferring to a big city university.

This country was built off of the backbreaking work of labor.?Unions are the backbone of fair labor practices and actors are the backbone of entertainment.

If you've e-v-e-r benefited from the negotiations of SAG union leaders and its members walking picket lines ... STAND IN SOLIDARITY!

With this song, I HONOR YOU.
