Having resided in San Diego for the majority of my life, I was pleasantly surprised to come across the IATSE 122, which stands as the Union of San Diego Stagehands. Upon becoming a member, I delved deeper into the network of local unions, united in advocating for equitable wages and fair representation across our city. In the memorable month of May 2024, I proudly stood alongside my 122 comrades, actively participating in the march and contributing to the documentation of these crucial moments that transpired during the event.
