Indigenous Writers Lead Takeover at Disney and Warner Bros.
On day 37 of the Writers Guild strike, picketing members hit up Disney and Warner Bros in Burbank. The day began at Warner Bros, where picket lines grew to about 100 people, including scribes from CW and/or WB Network shows. Many in the Warner Bros crowd moved in the afternoon to Disney for the Native & Indigenous Writers takeover, where as many as 150 picketers protested. The event opened with SAG-AFTRA member Dennis Garcia, who shared a blessing “to honor those that came before us and the elders who are with us today.” Other WGA committees showed up in support at Disney, including LGBTQ+ and LatinX writers.
