John, on Friday I joined the picket line with striking Writers
Guild of America West members in Los Angeles.

The turnout and community support for the writers on strike was
tremendous.

The message we sent across Los Angeles and beyond was clear — we’re in a
new era of streaming, and it’s imperative that workers are compensated and
treated fairly.

The WGA fight for better pay and wage protections will shape this industry
for decades. Their fight is vital to ensuring a decent livelihood for
those who make the entertainment industry such a creative powerhouse. And
jobs in California.

I’ve represented many of these writers in my district for decades. But
this is also personal to me — picketing alongside my brother David and
leaders like WGAW President Meredith Stiehm and former president Chris
Keyser, all of us standing in solidarity to fight for a fair deal.

The bottom line is that workers need a deal that includes good salaries
and keeps our favorite TV and movie productions afloat. Film, TV, and
music all depend on human creativity and imagination, and without the
writers, there would be no heroes, no villains, no stories to make us
laugh or cry. Nothing but static on the TV or big screen.

We turned out on the picket line to say that as technologies change, and
AI becomes a more dominant force, that workers need to be protected. And
that on Star Trek Day, we want everyone in this industry to be able to
live long and prosper.

This isn’t the end of the writers’ strike. They are going to need our
support from here on out to collectively bargain for a fair deal. But I
know they can get it done. I saw their determination on Friday. And I
believe that with folks like this leading the way, we can create a better
future for all workers across the country.

Because this isn’t just about writers, or the entertainment industry. This
is really about the changing workplace all across the nation, and the need
to make sure that as technologies change, workers are not left behind. And
that the economy needs to work for everyone.

Thanks for taking the time to catch up on this important issue and
campaign update. I’ll send you more from the road soon.

All the best,

Adam
