(Performers With Disabilities Society)
Welcome to the PWD Society, if you are a performer / filmmaker with a disability or an "able bodied ally" please sign up to join us.
We are currently discussing issues that effect SAG/Aftra members within the disabled community.
Meeting Dates and Times subject to change based on demand.
Please always check this website for updates.
Our goal is to elevate the conversation surrounding the disability experience in the entertainment industry. We will support each other, rally together to fight old tropes, and troubleshoot issues that still exist in the industry.
Meetings will be held via Zoom
(NDA's will be required for some meetings, however NOT all meetings will require non-disclosure agreements. Participants will be clearly notified when NDA's are required to participate.)...because of the nature of our anticipated conversations professional discretion is necessary, and expected of all participants.
We are looking to unite people with disabilities and able bodied allies within the Entertainment Industry.
If you are living with a disability please fill out the form to the left. If you are an able bodied ally, please continue scrolling down.
In addition to networking, in the future we hope to provide free career training, classes, support activities, resources and building a community.
"Able Bodied Allies"
We need you!
26% of the Population within the United States self identifies as living with a disability. It is the one marginalized community that ANYONE can become a part of at anytime in their lives.
Yet less than 1% are depicted in film and television. Our objective is to gain representation on the screen to begin to normalize disabilities and access within society.
Whether it be volunteering, organizing or just listening to learn, we appreciate anyone committed to inclusion.
To join our cause and become an "able bodied ally," please fill out the form to the right.
