Animation is under attack! My union, the Animation Guild, is in the middle of negotiations with the AMPTP to gain a new contract for animation. We’re fighting against being exploited, against AI taking jobs, and the future of this industry!
Please please be loud in your support of animation and its workers by using the #StandWithAnimation and stay informed HERE HERE AND HERE
Please fill out the interest check form if you're interested in buying or participating in this zine!
All proceeds will go to IATSE's mutual aid fund (AID IA) which goes into the hands of animation workers who are struggling to pay their bills due to layoffs!
Form will close Friday August 30th! Turn on notifications for updates!
"If all of Animation Twitter jumped off a bridge, would you?"
ME: Of course not, that's silly.
"If all of Animation Twitter started drawing Union Yaoi woul-"
ME: DONE!
Can my OTP defeat the AMPTP?
If you haven't seen the shorts these two are from, animworkersignited on Instagram and AWorkersIgnited on Twitter are good places to check for the shorts and up to date info.

On a more personal note, I am personally an animation graduate who graduated in 2021 and has not been able to get a job in animation. I am lucky enough to have a job in reprographics and a member of LOCAL ATU 241 (union strong baby!) but unfortunately a lot of my fellow graduates are struggling in the field or unable to find jobs. This is a symptom of the problem. Which is why it is important not just for us animators but also for YOU to help TAG win their fight!
also yes, this is a parody of this page from junjou romantica
