The JACKIE FACTORY is proud to serve on the Advisory Board of HOWL HELP!, a wonderful new community resource years in the making. This project will be announced at an upcoming press conference this summer, please let us know if you need more information or would like to help spread the word!

HOWL! HELP will be announced on Monday July 27 at ST MARKS CHURCH, 11:30 AM - 1 PM. Representatives from HOWL! and the ACTORS FUND will speak, light refreshments served, and questions answered. I am one of the speakers and would love to see some of the Mboards community there..

This is a great development.
Artists are so exploited, chewed up, practically enslaved and then reviled and dumped all at once.
So to have an organization and service that actually does something materially and practically important with substantial support is like a kind of oasis of due tribute.
