In the year since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, a coalition of showrunners, creators and directors has lobbied studios and streamers to expand their protections for workers in states that have banned or criminalized abortion.

called for entertainment companies to enact stronger health and safety protections for employees working in states that have banned or criminalized abortion at a reproductive healthcare-themed picket in front of Amazon Studios on Friday.

“Our message to the studios is this: It’s not acceptable to wait until someone dies to take this seriously. It is not acceptable to force people who are pregnant or could get pregnant to have to choose between their jobs and their lives,” said writer-producer Cindy Chupack in a speech at the event in front of the white columns of Culver Studios.
