So SAG-AFTRA is on strike, here’s what it means for you as a viewer
1) For Americans, it means the fall cable tv slots are going to be either re-runs or previously recorded content that was already scheduled to come out.
2) For non Americans, it means you will in the same boat and not be getting any new American episodes or shows until the strike is over and even then it will be at least 3-4 months before they have stuff filmed.
3) Any production that is still ongoing even though the writers walked out first, will most likely be shut down which includes House of the Dragon. The studios are trying to push the agenda in the news that they won’t be because most non-American actors are a part of Equity. Most Equity members are also SAG-AFTRA members or the productions are based in the US making them partially in SAG-AFTRA territory.
The productions will either shut down fully or they will film what they can with people who are not SAG-AFTRA members which will not allow them to stay open for long. Especially considering productions like HOTD have been violating the rules of the writers strike by having non-writers take over that job.
You may be asking hey Madi what can I do as a viewer to help?
1) Donate to strike funds. Especially as the heat as ramped up here in LA and the strikers will need ice and water.
Strike Fund for Picketers - covers water, ice, snacks, and financial needs of the Protestors
Entertainment Community Fund - helps out all those who work in the entertainment business that are affected by the shutdowns
2) Buy WGA or SAG-AFTRA merch directly from their shops. Its’s a great way to help the cause and represent their cause even if you might not live in NYC or LA. Plus their items are union made!
WGA Shop
SAG-AFTRA Shop
3) Join the Picket Lines.
WGA Picket Locations - Lists both NYC and LA picket spots.
SAG-AFTRA Locations - TBA abut most likely the same as WGA.
4) Spread the word on your socials. Maybe you don’t live close but spreading the word online is helpful. Make it so the executives cannot escape what they’ve done.
5) Do not engage with the social media that’s coming from the studios/entertainment companies accounts. No liking, watching, saving, etc. Make their metrics hurt and maybe even unfollow. But don’t go spamming their accounts with comments supporting the strike. The people behind the social media accounts aren’t the ones to blame.

Looked up the original source of the new image, apparently this was actually taken and published two weeks ago, on July 28th. It was taken by a photojournalist named Caroline Brehman who was documenting the picket line in L.A that day.
ORIGINAL IMAGE DESCRIPTION: "Actor Jane Fonda speaks at a picket line outside Netflix headquarters in Los Angeles, California, USA, 28 July 2023. SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) hits its second week mark on strike as members picket alongside Writers Guild of America members who have been on strike since early May over better wages and working conditions." EPA-EFE/CAROLINE BREHMAN
Makes me wonder if there are other images out there that have captured this sign.
PAY YOUR WRITERS AND ACTORS.

If I had a nickel for every time a “byler won’t write itself” sign was at a picket line, I would have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?
