I stand with the WGA members voting to strike!
There is no industry without writers.
They deserve to be able to make a living!
Im incredibly hopeful that they can come to an agreement.
I also feel very strongly that what the writers are asking for is not unreasonable.
New industry standards have left writers underpaid and overworked, the guild says.
Meanwhile the studios are making huge profits, and CEOs making mega bonuses.
Theyre just refusing to share the wealth that workers are generating.
Below are the actors, writers, and showrunners tweeting their support for the WGA strike authorization.
There is no industry without writers.
None of that stopped me from having to go on EBT for a while.The current system is unsustainable.

The studios are trying to turn writing into a gig job.
Eliminating the writers room, forcing screenwriters to work for free, paying late night writers a day rate.
If youre in the WGA, yo vote yes on a strike authorization.
the issues on the table for the ongoing#wgacontract negotiation are existential.
Morgan Evans (Writer,Teen Titans Go!)
Im voting yes on the WGA strike and I hope it ultimately creates more jobs for all of us.
