Coffee with Rachel Bloom? Pottery class with Busy Phillips? Adam Scott walks your dog for an hour in LA? Dinner with Bob Odenkirk and David Cross?
All of these things (and more) are currently available in an active auction on EBay to raise money for crew members who ahave lost their healthcare coverage due to the ongoing production stoppages from the stall out in labor negotiations between the WGA, SAG-AFTRA, and the AMPTP (the business collective of 300+ major film & TV production studios/corporations based in the US). The Union Solidarity Coalition’s auction can be found here
Celebs who have donated items/their time to the cause include: Rachel Bloom, Adam Scott, Donald Glover, Barry Jenkins, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Daniel Radcliffe, Steven Soderbergh, the Duffer Brothers, Mark Ruffalo, the cast of the Bear and many more. The auction is open until September 22.
