Streaming has bulldozed the traditional Hollywood writer’s system, allowing studios to get away with under-paying and under-employing writers… signing them to smaller contracts, for less time, no raises to account for inflation, no residual income, keeping writers at minimum deals for decades with no advancement… basically turning what could have been a sustainable career into a gig economy where writers are competing harder for less and less freelance scraps. All the while studios post record profits year over year. GO WRITERS!!

The obvious, low-hanging fruit here is that Ms. Williamson is for beating writers. That would be out of context, though, and wrong, and since I’m not a deranged Liberal I will simply point to the humor without actually leveling an improper attack.

As an author, I have to support the writers.

Studios should take responsibility and provide fair compensation and job security for writers. Unacceptable for studios to post record profits while writers struggle to make ends meet. Support M. Williamson's campaign for presidency. She's promoting equality in all industries.
