About 45 minutes before the ‘Solidarity with Writers’ march is scheduled to start, several hundred people have gathered at the intersection of Hollywood and Ivar. Many of them are wearing red and carrying the familiar WGA posters. A new sign has joined the mix, showing solidarity with writers: “We are all on the same page.”
Nearby, a five-piece orchestra complete with two French horns, two trumpets and a trombone is entertaining the gathering crowd. Among their repertoire: the theme to ‘The Love Boat.’
Milling about the crowd are Teamsters with signs saying ‘Teamsters support WGA.’
A makeshift stage has been set up on the backs of two pickups positioned back-to-back. Alicia Keys is scheduled to perform shortly.
