Happy New Year!
Join us on Saturday, Jan. 18 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. for a conversation about the new bill AB-5 which has a major impact on the livelihoods of freelancers and contractors.
We will be meeting at the SAG-Aftra headquarters (5757 Wilshire Blvd.) where we will be joined by fellow journalists and advocates to answer all your questions about how to navigate this new legislation that limits the amount of projects/stories a freelancer or contractor can perform for a company. We will also discuss chapter elections and hot topics. NABJLA Vice President Jarrett Hill will moderate.
