A member of Local 433 whose preferred moniker is Somebody Someone has been active with the local’s Freelance Organizing Committee, which focuses on building a strong group in which musicians feel safe to share information about their work and employers—and with an aim to increase contract use and improve negotiating skills. Somebody Someone has helped the union connect with other advocacy groups to find common issues and work toward collaborative solutions.
