MOME, resources and links
Dear Entertainment Industry Workers
Thank you for registering for one or both of the workforce targeted webinars presented by the Mayor’s Office of Media & Entertainment (MOME). As promised, in case you were unable to attend on June 22, below you will find the link to view the webinar entitled Resources for Workers Impacted by the WGA Strike -- Part II. Note that this second worker targeted webinar includes additional presentations from resource organizations and agencies providing information about Food Stamps, Unemployment Insurance, financial assistance and more. For your convenience, the names of the organizations on the panel and their websites are also listed below. We invite you to share these links with friends and colleagues who may be interested.
MOME plans to continue providing resource information as we navigate this changing landscape together.
Sincerely,
Marisa Redanty
