Happy #WomensHistoryMonth! Today and every day we celebrate the resilience and strength of women worldwide. Let's continue to uplift, support, and champion each other.
MY SO-CALLED LIFE
An origin story🧵
Kristy McNichol played "Buddy," an adolescent girl on ABC-TV's "Family." I’d write surly teenage dialogue and get network notes on my scripts with the initials N.O.B. meaning “Not Our Buddy.” I vowed someday I'd get to portray real adolescence.
We also thank our union siblings — the workers that power this industry — for the sacrifices they have made while supporting our strike and that of the Writers Guild of America. We stand together in solidarity and will be there for you when you need us.
Thank you all for your dedication, your commitment and your solidarity throughout this strike. It is because of YOU that these improvements became possible.
In solidarity and gratitude,
Your TV/Theatrical Negotiating Committee
Today marks Day 100 of the @sagaftra actors & performing artists strike, the longest strike in the unions' history!
#SAGAFTRAStrong, no matter how long—until there's modern contract with living wages, streaming compensation & protections against AI!
A.I. Cannot & Should Not, replace the Artistry & Humanity of Our Entertainment Industry.
Proud that the @WGAEast // @WGAWest have so boldly & brilliantly presented such a strong counter, to what will no doubt, be the fight to preserve Creative Integrity, for years to come.
“when people in many professions fear that generative AI is coming for their jobs, the WGA’s new contract has the potential to be precedent-setting, not just in Hollywood, where the actors’ strike continues, but in industries across the US and the world.”

.@sagaftra is still striking for a fair contract.
Equity stands in solidarity w/ our union siblings. The positive momentum the WGA has achieved with their tentative agreement will help all performers who are still striking for better working conditions. Keep showing your support!
To Our #SagAftraMembers:
SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP will meet for bargaining on Monday, Oct. 2. Several executives from AMPTP member companies will be in attendance. As negotiations proceed, we will report any substantiative updates directly to you.
☔ Rain or shine, New York members and our WGA allies were strong today. Our solidarity is our power, and together, we're a force to be reckoned with. But remember, the fight continues, and we won't stop until we secure what's rightfully ours!
The SAG-AFTRA Negotiating Committee congratulates the WGA Negotiating Committee.

To our fellow union siblings who serve on the WGA Negotiating Committee, we extend our heartfelt congratulations on securing a tentative agreement with the AMPTP.

The WGA reached a tentative agreement with the AMPTP. Today, our Negotiating Committee, WGAW Board, and WGAE Council all voted unanimously to recommend the agreement. The strike ends at 12:01 am. Check out our deal at https://t.co/TuGZ0CBIqw. #WGAStrong
So many people worked so hard and sacrificed so much. Thank you writers, strike captains, and people on the lines for keeping the good fight alive for the future of our industry. #WGAStrike
The Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers have reached a 'tentative agreement' to end the strike.
