#WGAstrong #writersstrike pic.twitter.com/TwGGH8raQjReed got a quote from a plane company on how much it would cost to fly the plane over all the studios, and the price came out to $1,862. Thanks to more than 100 donors, that goal was reached in less than 48 hours.
Reed says that the donations not only came from WGA members, but also from members of SAG-AFTRA, DGA, and eight different IATSE locals. Support even came from members of non-Hollywood unions like United Domestic Workers and California Teachers Association as well as talent agents and managers.
“I had a friend who was in IATSE Local 44, and they did a sky banner when they were doing a strike authorization vote a couple years ago, and she said ‘I have our flight plan from when we did it if you want it,'” she said. “It started as something that was my idea and then snowballed into something that a bunch of people were onboard to support.” The donations came in so fast that Reed had over $200 left over after commissioning the plane message.
He donated that cash to the Entertainment Community Fund, which is providing financial support to Hollywood workers cash-strapped by the production shutdowns caused by the strike.
