Tomorrow at WB: The Fan Picket!
Please come out TOMORROW, Tuesday October 3, to show support for the actors on strike! The writers were on strike 148 days but they got their deal! Now it's the actors' turn! Their negotiations with the studios begin today, and the higher the turnout right now, the easier for the SAG-AFTRA negotiating committee. High visible public support means more leverage at the bargaining table! The Trek-fandom Snack Squad has teamed up with OFMD Snakery Snackery squad to sponsor food trucks: breakfast tacos, ice cream, churros, and a full-service coffee stand.
But this isn't about any individual fandom, it's about the power of fans and fandom communities at large. We are often overlooked by studios as just being a segment of their audiences, but we are massively powerful because of our passion, creativity, and community. Let's harness that power to get a high turnout — and high online visibility — Tuesday, Oct 3, and keep the pressure on for the studios to negotiate with the actors in good faith.
Come on out and let's party on the picket line!

SAG-AFTRA strike leadership asks that people do not come to pickets in cosplay that accurately depicts characters from struck shows, but please feel free to wear fun outfits and non-canon cosplay.
