Our Hire Disabled Writers Advocacy Initiative Kicks Off
Precluded by a industry-shifting call to move away from the “consultant trap” in a Hollywood Reporter guest column, Inevitable Foundation initiated this multi-pronged advocacy initiative, which included the "Hire Disabled Writers, Not Just A Disability Consultant" billboard campaign across digital and print media in industry centers like Los Angeles and New York, and an open letter signed by nearly 40 entertainment industry leaders such as Marlee Matlin, Ramy Youssef, Lauren Ridloff, Paul Feig, Ryan O’Connell, and Ali Stroker.
The Disabled Consultant Futures Fund Launches to Increase Pay and Hiring for Disabled Creatives
Launched as part of Inevitable’s Hire Disabled Writers Campaign, the Disabled Consultants Futures Fund directly addresses Hollywood’s consultancy trap by giving creatives the tools, information and support to leverage an underpaid consultancy gig into their desired roles, with the help of a series of contract, negotiation and workers rights tools and resources.
