"The Time’s Up Foundation has joined with 1 in 4, a coalition of disabled Hollywood workers, in calling for “long-term institutional shifts” in the film and TV industry to increase employment opportunities and authentic portrayals of the disabled community on screen, behind the camera, and in the media.
“In the United States, 25% of the adult population has a visible or invisible disability,” said Tina Tchen, president and CEO of the Time’s Up Foundation. “But, even though one in four people have a disability, they are missing in our films and television shows, they are not represented in creative, production, and vendor positions, and their stories are not told in the press. Diverse workplaces are safer and healthier workplaces, which is exactly why Time’s Up is proud to join 1 in 4 to ensure that everyone is represented and included. It is time for Hollywood to be accessible for all people and more accurately reflect the world we live in, on screen and off.”
