\"protest<\/img><\/p>\n

As protests continued across every state in the nation, some people in the film and TV world decided to use their privilege for a good cause. Indie distributor A24 released a list of worthwhile organizations they\u2019ve donated to while the cast and creator of\u00a0Brooklyn Nine-Nine<\/em><\/strong> donated $100,000 to the National Bail Fund Network. Meanwhile, Bad Robot and the\u00a0Katie McGrath<\/strong> and J.J. Abrams<\/strong> Family Foundation have pledged $10 million to organizations and efforts committed to anti-racist agendas.<\/p>\n

The United States is going on over a full week of mass protests following the murder of George Floyd, as well as several other Black individuals, at the hands of police, and Hollywood is taking note. On May 31, popular indie movie distributor A24 released the following statement:<\/p>\n

As A24 says in the note above, \u201cour current moment demands more than a glib statement of solidarity with those doing the work.\u201d Yesterday, A24 followed up with a new statement pledging a donation of \u201c$500K to organizations invested in ending police brutality and in the greater fight for the liberation, health and wellness of Black people nationally and in\u2026NYC.\u201d They also provided a list of the organizations, which you can see below.<\/p>\n

A24 isn\u2019t the only big name pledging money.\u00a0Bad Robot and Katie McGrath and J.J. Abrams Family Foundation have vowed to pledge $2 million annually over five years, resulting in $10 million total, to\u00a0organizations and efforts committed to anti-racist agendas. You can see their statement below.<\/p>\n

Hollywood has a long history of portraying the police in a rosy light. Case in point: one of the funniest shows on TV right now is\u00a0Brooklyn Nine-Nine<\/em>, a series<\/a> set entirely within a police precinct. The cops on\u00a0Brooklyn Nine-Nine<\/em> are goofy, silly, and \u2013 perhaps most unbelievable of all, especially these days \u2013 socially aware. The cast and creator of the hit series realize that their fictional cops exist in an idealized world, but since we\u2019re all stuck in the real world, the\u00a0Brooklyn<\/em> crew has decided to pledge money to the\u00a0National Bail Fund Network. The majority of the cast took to Twitter to share the same statement, which you can see below, courtesy of creator Dan Goor. \u201cThe cast and showrunner of\u00a0Brooklyn 99<\/em>\u00a0condemn the murder of George Floyd and support the many people who are protesting police brutality nationally,\u201d the statement reads. \u201cTogether we have made a $100,000 donation to the National Bail Fund Network.\u201d<\/p>\n

Piggy-backing off of that,\u00a0The West Wing<\/em> cast member\u00a0Richard Schiff, who played the frequently morose\u00a0 White House Communications Director on the Aaron Sorkin series, stated that he was speaking with his former cast members about pledging a similar donation \u2013 and that donation might come with a cast reunion and reading.<\/p>\n

\n

I am working with my cast mates from The West Wing for these purposes. Including a cast reunion and reading coming soon. Good for Brooklyn 99. I hope it makes a difference. https:\/\/t.co\/acA0n5LenU<\/p>\n
