In an attempt to show solidarity with the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and its ongoing strike, the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain (WGGB) has announced that they are encouraging its members to actively protest at London’s Leicester Square on June 14th. The members of the WGGB that wish to participate will meet by the William Shakespeare statue at 1 p.m.

The protest has been organized by International Affiliation of Writers Guilds and the Federation of Screenwriters in Europe for the Global Day of Solidarity. So far, it appears that many U.K. screenwriters are in support of the WGA strike despite it having no direct effect on them. That’s not to say that if the WGA is successful that the significance of its outcome will not affect other writer’s guilds. There will also be protests by the WGA and members of the Federation of Entertainment Unions on the same day.

Beyond the literal protest, the WGGB is encouraging its members to not take part in ay projects within the WGA’s jurisdiction starting May 2nd. Regarding projects under U.S. companies from the U.K. branches that members can take part in, new projects are highly discouraged but preexisting projects that are already in development are exempted.
