Our Emergency Relief Fund Launches to Support Writers Through the 2023 Strike
Created following Inevitable Foundation’s report analyzing the potential impact of a WGA strike on disabled writers, and launched days after the union’s first work stoppage in 15 years, the Emergency Relief Fund assisted disabled union and non-union writers alike through $500 unrestricted, responsive cash grants, financially supported in part by industry members like Damon Lindelof, Julie Plec, Hart Hanson, Rachel Bloom, Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz. The outcomes of this support were measured in Inevitable’s 2023 Emergency Relief Fund Impact Report, which revealed that the assistance helped the overall financial security of 95% of grantees, with 96% stating the fund alleviated their strike stress.
