We’re excited to officially announce the name of our new monthly mixer: Sunday Solidarity — brought to you by IATSE Local 490!

This casual networking event is open to everyone in the industry — union or non-union, cast or crew, newcomers or veterans. It’s all about building connections, sharing experiences, and enjoying each other’s company outside of the hustle.

🗓 This Sunday, July 27th
⏰ 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM
📍 Fair State Brewing Cooperative
2506 Central Ave NE, Minneapolis, MN 55418

We just wrapped a union job, so if you're curious about what it’s like to work union — or how to get started — this is a great chance to chat with folks who’ve been there.

But more than that, Sunday Solidarity is about community — hanging out, sharing stories, and supporting one another. Whether you’re there to network, decompress, or just grab a drink with familiar faces, we’d love to see you.

Let’s launch this right — see you this Sunday!
