WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice.
As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree.
Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich.
Silencing us impoverishes the whole world.
The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

Stop scrolling. Start writing.

Even staring at a blank screen counts. That’s where every screenplay begins.

We’re all craving original stories on the big screen.
Hollywood’s (finally) catching on.

Breaking into Hollywood has never been simple, and yet, there have never been so many directions to take.

Madeline Luu, a newcomer to screenwriting, investigates those directions in our newest blog post.

The Golden Age of Hollywood favored original storytelling and set the stage for what was possible on the big screen, inspiring generations of filmmakers to come.

Hollywood could use a little bit of that energy again… stay tuned 👀
