The Actors Fund
[link removed]
Dear Actors Fund Friends,
Built into the values of The Actors Fund is a commitment to embrace
diversity and seek equity, inclusion and dignity for all. We
stand in support of black and brown people suffering from the
devastating racism in America. We are committed to listening to and
learning from voices that must be heard. We are working on what we can
do better as an organization, and will say again and again:
Black lives matter.

The workshops, groups and seminars of The Actors Fund continue to be
resources available to everyone in the performing arts and
entertainment community. To build upon our pledge to support equality
for all and condemn systemic racism, we are working to expand programs
so that they reflect the nuances of our community and the topics that
need to be addressed. These issues have to be discussed not
only as a national crisis, but also as it pertains to the
entertainment industry.
We continue to highlight our workshops and
services that are currently in place that can be of help to our
community, from our daily meditation session

In this global economic crisis, it sometimes feels like the plight of
dancers has been largely ignored. So Debbie Allen is on a mission to
change that. "They don't list dance and the arts as essential," she
says, "but we are! We give people more joy and hope than almost
anything."
[link removed]
To spread that joy and hope-and raise some urgently needed funds
for several organizations, including Career Transition For Dancers, a
program of The Actors Fund-Allen is putting on a 12-hour digital
dance-a-thon! Along with her co-host, choreographer JaQuel Knight,
Allen will be livestreaming from 12 pm to 12 am PT, sharing impromptu
performances from top dancers, inspirational conversations with
celebrities, dance classes with major choreographers, spotlights on
studios around the country, and DJ sets that will get us all moving
together.

The lineup includes dozens of special guests: mainstream names like
Dolly Parton, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Ellen Pompeo and Billy Porter,
plus dance stars like Misty Copeland, Mia Michaels, the
Rockettes, Savion Glover and our Board member Bebe Neuwirth!
