The Writers Guild of America East has issued a letter following the election of Donald Trump as U.S. president to mobilize members to fight for “a more diverse, inclusive and just industry,” TheWrap has learned.
WGAE communications director Jason Gordon said the letter was a recognition of the changed political climate in the wake of Trump’s surprise upset of Hillary Clinton for the White House.
Gordon indicated the group is prepared to mobilize on a wide array of issues — from net neutrality, media conglomeratization, professional development, and panel discussions, like, “writing about a racially charged America.”
