Rosie ODonnell, Amy Schumer, Miley Cyrus and George Clooney are part of a group of celebrities calling for a total Hollywood strike until Trump resigns.
A group of liberal Hollywood celebrities are threatening a massive, all-round Hollywood strike unless Donald Trump resigns. Describing Hollywood as the base of the entire modern American culture, the group also claims to be speaking on behalf of all of humanity.
Its about time people understood that were the ones with the power and that the president is there to serve us, not the other way around, a spokesperson for the group told The New York Times.
Were calling for a general strike that would include every single person involved in making motion pictures in Hollywood, starting with the actors and celebrities themselves and encompassing companies in charge of making props, movie memorabilia and even souvenir shops.
Spinzon reports: Rosie ODonnell, Debra Messing, Ed Asner and Michael Shannon are among the dozens of artists, entertainers, and activists who have attached their names to an effort calling for a month-long protest to stop President-elect Donald Trump.
No! In the Name of Humanity We Refuse to Accept a Fascist America! reads a full-page ad placed in the New York Times on Wednesday by the group Refuse Racism. Donald Trump, the President-elect, is assembling a regime of grave danger, the ad says.
Millions of people in the US and around the world are filled with deep anxiety, fear and disgust. Our anguish is right and just. Our anger must now become massive resistance before Donald Trump is inaugurated and has the full reins of power in his hands.
Other Hollywood celebrities who have also joined the campaign, however, are calling for an all-out strike that would span the entire movie industry in the hopes that such a move would urge the President-elect to resign from his position as the newly elected President of the United States.

Perhaps the acting and writing vacuum can be filled by American patriots and cultural traditionalists, producing films for audiences whose entertainment preferences have been long ignored.
99% of the crap Hollyweird puts out isn’t worth seeing anyway.
Who cares.
These people have an overly inflated view of themselves.
Such a strike wouldn’t hurt millionaires like Rosie or the top executives, but would punish everyone else down the food chain.
“SingleMuslim.com” banner ad...
too funny.
Do it! Do it! Do it!
I would LOVE to prove to America that we don’t need this class of traitors anymore.
This goes to show just how important they think of themselves.
Cutting off their noses to spite their faces.
Too many of today’s movies are just marketing tools for selling Legos, action figures, and other toys.
I have one word for Hollyweird: Books.
It would be the best thing Hollywood has ever done!!
no money....no power....and they can shut the hell up.....
These 'stars' wouldn't give two shits for all of those ordinary people who make their success possible and would be in a tough place without the work.
Our country would be much more wholesome overnight.
There’s no way the filth and morals they represent doesn’t seep into the psyche of kids.
And they think WE’RE “dark”?
were the ones with the power ??
Oh yeah.
Silly saps. Actors are a dime a dozen.. and most are worth even less these days.
Simply amazing that so many are volunteering to be placed on the blacklist.
That’s cool. I don’t what their movies at all, and my only two tv shows are filmed in Canada and Ireland.
..."powerful", like these guys;
Until Trump Resigns
Oh noes! They've got us now! They are the "creators" of U.S. culture! What would this nation ever do without them?
Rosie O'Donuts is brilliant, brilliant! It's a perfect plan. It should spread. All known celebrities should "boycott" the rest of us, and refuse to contribute to U.S. culture (cultural decline, in actuality) until...until Trump resigns in disgrace (disgrace for having caused them conniption fits!) How dare he do such things! Who does he think he is? The President of the United States, or something?
Will this Winning ever stop?
I hope not.
Really? you mean no more rosie/babs/Schumer/Cyrus/Clooney? That would be a good thing. Do it!
