Hollywood A-listers are providing a bit of relief amid the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike.
The Big Picture As actors continue to march the streets alongside the members of the WGA for the ongoing dual strike, a handful of Hollywood A-listers are doing their part to ensure that those on the picket line are adequately supported. The SAG-AFTRA Foundation, which has an Emergency Financial Assistance Program for struggling actors in situations such as these, has raised over $15 million so far with the lion's share coming from 14 Hollywood stars.
Streep and Clooney, two ardent supporters of the Foundation and the strike, each released statements showing their support for their fellow actors.

"In this strike action, I am lucky to be able to support those who will struggle in a long action to sustain against Goliath.
