Norman Lear Backs Writers Strike
At almost 101 years old, Lear took to Instagram to say he stands with the striking Writers Guild. “I have been, at my core, a writer. A writer who struggled and anguished to put words to paper that would provoke, create conversation, humanize us, help us see each other — words that would matter. I wrote in the very first year of television, when writers were revered. I now watch talented writers struggle to earn a living wage without the path to a career like mine. I stand with writers and the Writers Guild of America, my union. The industry is stronger when we stand together to protect our collective community.”
