At the very least, take to social media and promote the cause of writers in Hollywood. The WGA has provided some sample copy.

JUNE 14th: Our @IAWGs, @ScreenwritersEU, and @unimei sister guilds will take action in cities around the world and online in support of the #WGAStrike. See the growing list of actions at https://rb.gy/bogka. #ScreenwritersEverywhere

Writers guilds around the world understand that solidarity with U.S. writers is important for raising standards globally. Their fight is our fight, and ours is theirs. #ScreenwritersEverywhere #WGAStrike

#ScreenwritersEverywhere stand with the WGA because we share many of the same challenges, often work for the same multinational companies, and see our content distributed on the same platforms. #WGAStrike

Hey, @Netflix! The rest of the world is bigger — why are foreign residuals a fraction of domestic? #ScreenwritersEverywhere #WGAStrike

The content we create has made @Netflix a leading global platform. It’s time to pay up on foreign residuals! #ScreenwritersEverywhere #WGAStrike
