The WGA Strike

Designed by Hollywood supports the WGA Strike.

Although it hurts our pockets big time, because so many of us are without jobs, it still is a very worthy fight.

I can't imagine how the world would be without writers....

I came across  this  blog, that is really good at keeping track of  every picket line out there.

They are reporting on an hourly basis, where the negotiations are, all the whys and whos,  the picket lines not just in Hollywood, but around the world and they answer all the questions that people out there might have.

They also provide you with these pictures to put on your blog or website, to add support for this very worthy cause.

We took advantage of it, and placed them right here for you to view, and hopefully inspire you to visit their site.

You'll be glad you did!
