Be Aware

In a world where jobs are sent to places that aren't the United States of America, A few Stop Motion Animators and Artists take a stand...

The petition is gaining ground- check out http://nymieg.blogspot.com/2008/06/support-animation-community-in-new-york.html For a write up!

Truly, we just want to let the people in charge that we are here, ready for work. I am excited to be part of this petition, and am grateful to everyone who has signed the petition and those who have contributed and supported the drafting of this petition.

Here is the petition, please go to http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/stopmony/ to show your support.

In life, it is everyone's aspiration to work in his or her chosen field. For years, animators from the United States have lost jobs and opportunities to studios in Canada. This has been due to tax incentives and historically cheaper exchange rates in Canada. Now, these jobs once lost to us, have the opportunity to return to the United States. New tax laws and the weaker American Dollar are making productions produced in the US competitive again. It is time for us, as members of the Animation Community, to show we are here and ready to work. It is our hope that this petition will show producers of animation that the workforce is ready and available to support animation productions in the United States of America.
