Writers are the creative minds behind the shows and movies we all love to watch. Their work provides the foundation for the content produced by the entertainment industry.  But since November 5, 12,000 entertainment writers have been on strike.

These hardworking men and women are taking a stand against corporate greed.  Just like any of us, they should be compensated fairly for the work that they do.  We need to stand with them as they defend workers' rights and abilities in our new economy.

We have the names and phone numbers of studio and network executives - can you take a few minutes to call and tell them to pay their writers? 

Jump straight to:

• Phone numbers
• Talking Points
• Video of network executives' hypocrisy

When you call, consider using these talking points:

• Writers are the creative minds behind the shows and movies we all love to watch. Their work provides the foundation for the content produced by the entertainment industry.

• These writers are on strike for a pretty simple reason. Writers are asking for fair compensation when their content is streamed on the Internet by the networks. Right now, writers get nothing for this work—even if written exclusively for online audiences—and the studios want to keep it that way.  Does that sound fair?

• More and more TV shows are going to go off the air because of the stinginess of the studios.  It's estimated that the companies will bring in a whopping $4.6 billion over the next three years through the Internet—and they don't want to give the writers a penny.  The networks and studios tell the writers there's no money to be made online—then, the CEOs of the same companies brag to Wall Street that they're making tons of money online.  Which is it?

• Hollywood studios refuse to sit down and seriously negotiate with the writers. Companies should treat the writers with the respect they deserve.  The studio companies need to come back to the bargaining table and resolve this strike.
