Service & Solidarity Spotlight: Supporters Unite in Solidarity with Medieval Times Performers United on Nine-Month Strike

Working people across the United States have stepped up to help out our friends, neighbors and communities during these trying times. In our Service & Solidarity Spotlight series, we'll showcase one of these stories every day. Here’s today’s story.

Members of Medieval Times Performers United, represented by the American Guild of Variety Artists (AGVA), have been on strike for nine months. They have been fighting tirelessly for living wages, safe working conditions and the humane treatment of their animal co-stars. They will be rallying this Sunday, with a performance featuring Tom Morello: The Nightwatchman, guitarist for the legendary band Rage Against the Machine.
