LOS ANGELES : A Los Angeles food bank created to support low-income families is now coming to the aid of striking and struggling Hollywood actors and writers, some of whom show up for free groceries with tears in their eyes.
"A lot of us are working three to four jobs to make it happen. We’re barely middle class as it is," SAG member Kristina Wong told Reuters at the food bank. Actors went on strike on July 14 and writers on May 2, in first dual work stoppage in 63 years, forcing studios to halt many productions across the United States and abroad. Both unions are asking studios for higher pay and guardrails around the use of artificial intelligence, which they say threatens their livelihoods.
Curado created the local food bank in 2007 with the goal to serve impoverished community members while also advocating for a zero waste system to protect the planet.
