Striking Writers

The Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producer are on strike and picketing in NY and LA. This morning writer's picketed outside NBC's Rockefeller studios during the live Today Show chanting "No contract, no shows!"

There are many freelancer organizations and associations, especially on both coasts. Are there other organizations not based in the Tri-State or West Coast area?

Does Phoenix, the Mid-West or the South have any organizations?

If not, should we as freelancers start some?

Is there a way for freelance writers to honor our picketing industry colleagues?
