WGA on Strike

We have not reached an agreement with the studios and streamers. We will be on strike after the contract expires at midnight.

@neilhimself Are there any recommendations from WGA on what those of us not close enough to a picket line to walk can do to show support?

I wish you all a swift and productive strike even though I know the studios are gonna fight you all tooth and nail.

Edit: I found the info on the site. For anyone else who sees this toot, more info found here: https://www.wgacontract2023.org/strike-hub
