WGA board voting is open and it is time for new voices.
The clique that runs our union has had power for too long.
Vote for anyone promising to change how things operate WITHIN the union. Only then will change happen in the industry at large.
The studios pay attention to how the @wgawest.bsky.social treats its own members and asks, “Why should we treat writers better than they treat themselves?”
If you are a WGA member, it is strongly recommended that you read the recent posts on the most populous WGA Facebook group.
Important information there about the very concerning actions taken by the current WGA Board in recent discipline trials.
@deadline.com @thr.com @variety.com
There needs to be accountability for the manner in which the WGA Board (not present at any trials) overruled the verdicts of EVERY discipline committee in order to impose their own devastating punishments.
These moves were UNANIMOUS from the board.
VOTE.
OUT.
EVERY.
INCUMBENT.

Speaking of WGA board overreach, when does Tim Doyle get a retraction of his public censure, later struck down by the membership?
The WGA board sent that censure out to every member via email and they ought to retract it via the same.

Unpopular opinion incoming: secret tribunals, whisper campaigns, outing members for a public stoning, misinformation and McCarthy scare tactics, all reprehensible behavior by the union of Dalton Trumbo and other blacklisted writers whom we now cherish. Morally repugnant. #scriptsky
Many #screenwriters don't understand what the truth is, about Park Chan-Wook & Don McKellar being kicked out of the WGA for what was apparently minor post-production work (permitted by the DGA). The WGA board is very punishing. Read the whole article. #scriptsky #moviesky variety.com/2025/tv/news...
"the duo “completed writing the entire script…and began filming long before the WGA strike began”
And the WGA Board once again overrode the trial committee recommendation and kicked these writers out.
VOTE.
OUT.
EVERY.
INCUMBENT.

"A jury of WGA members “determined that the violations...stemmed from a misunderstanding...during post-production, and recommended only issuing a confidential warning.”
...the WGA Board of Directors... voted to expel both writers"
VOTE.
OUT.
EVERY.
INCUMBENT.

PSA: This reporting is incorrect. Being removed from the WGA (or going fi-core) does not prohibit a writer from working in any way. Nothing changes. You also collect health and pension per usual.
The WGA promotes this misunderstanding in order to scare people away from fi-core status.
Expelling Park Chan-wook from your club speaks more about your club than it does of Park Chan-wook.

Conover's election platform indicates that his central idea is to organize areas outside of film and TV. Diluting the focus of our union for the sake of growth.

Adam Conover is proposing that the WGA be willing to go on strike over YouTube videos.
It's time to stop allowing the Goodman/Keyser-clique to decide the leadership of our union. It's time for change.
The incumbents, who universally voted to grant themselves power over the WGA Constitution in recent days, need to go.
And the audacity of Adam Conover running for reelection!
This after internally leading the WGA board's (recently overturned by membership) public shaming of member Tim Doyle.
And after becoming a paid spokesman for a Silicon Valley AI/crypto scheme.
WGA voters should send Conover back to Youtube.
It's time to stop allowing the Goodman/Keyser-clique to decide the leadership of our union. It's time for change.
The incumbents, who universally voted to grant themselves power over the WGA Constitution in recent days, need to go.
Now the bigger question:
Why do we have someone so wiling to sell out to tech companies on the Board of the Writers Guild of America?
Adam Conover needs to resign.
#WGA
How many times must Conover and the WGA Board step on a rake before they realize that arrogance is not a strategy?
"I did it because I thought I was better than them. I thought that I could outsmart them."
-Adam Conover, obnoxiously loud spokesperson for the Agency Campaign and a man who sent us all on strike in order to intentionally eliminate all our mini-room jobs
Now the bigger question:
Why do we have someone so wiling to sell out to tech companies on the Board of the Writers Guild of America?
Adam Conover needs to resign.

WGA board member, Adam Conover, is now a spokesman for a crypto, eye-scanning app.
Moving forward, we should perhaps elect board members whose primary career is writing television and film, rather than whatever this is.
It is time for WGA membership to move on from the leadership of Adam Conover and his allies.
More evidence:
Adam Conover got famous for promoting critical thinking in his show “Adam Ruins Everything.” Now he’s getting paid to promote an orb that scans your eyeball in exchange for crypto currency, which was trained on poor villagers in Africa and Southeast Asia. Yes, really. skepchick.org/2025/05/adam...
SAG and the WGA are in desperate need of new leadership, because their current leadership keeps selling them out to the worst fucking people.
And the studios should also be run by people actually in the industry, not outside billionaires.
“Adam Ruins His Own Credibility”
It's mighty funny that the biggest winner of the recent writer and animation strikes weren't the creators, writers, and animators. They're still struggling and working for better wages.
Nope. The guy who made a huge career and making money everywhere is Adam Con Artist. And that's... disappointing.
Considering how much Adam plants his reputation to be against companies like this, I don’t think he deserves to be at any guild rally or to be a part of any project if he’s gonna be shilling for crypto scams now in some weird grift.
