BREAKING: Our International President and several Executive Board members walked the line with Writers Guild of America West today. The AMPTP’s failure to meet the Writers’ reasonable demands is driving the Hollywood guilds and unions together with UNPRECEDENTED SOLIDARITY.

The new episode of Scriptnotes is great for a lot of reasons but mostly because Vince Gilligan is so generous to credit his writers room and the value of having a real room. ⁦@johnaugust⁩ ⁦@clmazin⁩ podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/scr…

Less than a penny on the dollar. Less than a FRACTION of a penny on the dollar, and we could all get back to work. Which tells you, the AMPTP is not fighting us over money. They're fighting us to show that nobody is allowed to say "no" to the financial and tech bros, *ever*.

A lovely article about care and cleverness that leads to ANOTHER nice piece of writing, recc’d by ⁦@johnaugust⁩ newsletter, to which I subscribe and you should too. jackcheng.com/sunday/396-mai…

If you’re enjoying your weekend, thank the labor movement. And if you’re winding down with a movie or TV show, thank the working people who create the stories we love. I stand with Writers Guild of America West, Writers Guild of America East, @SAGAFTRA, and #DGA in their fight.

BREAKING: Over 70% of Americans, including 63% of Trump voters, support the writers' strike. A new poll we commissioned from Blue Rose Research shows overwhelming support for the WGA strike that cuts across race, age, gender, and even political ideology. perfectunion.us/poll-the-publi…

Everyday I am in awe of writers because they: 1. Make something out of nothing 2. Absolutely know their worth and value to this industry 3. Immediately know when to call BS on desperate PR tactics #wgastrong #wgastrike
