The Rock has donated to help those currently striking in Hollywood.
Variety reported that The Rock has contributed a “seven-figure donation” for SAG-AFTRA’s Emergency Financial Assistance Program, which will help actors that are currently on strike. The SAG-AFTRA union has been on strike since July 13, joining the Writer’s Guild of America.
SAG-AFTRA Foundation Courtney B. Vance and executive director Cyd Wilson drafted a letter to 2,700 of the union’s highest-earning actors detailing the financial need for actors as they continue to strike. According to Vance, The Rock’s team reached out after the letter was sent. Variety did not report the specific amount donated.
“It was a love fest. It’s like, ‘Man, you’re stepping up in a way that is allowing others to know the dire necessity of it,'” Vance told Variety. “This is him saying, ‘In such a time as this, I’m here and I’m not going anywhere, whatever you need me to do.’ And that sends a huge message to other folks to do the same thing.”
“We have 160,000 SAG-AFTRA performers and that’s a lot of people that are going to need our help,” Vance added. “This donation is the kickstart we needed in the first week of what we think will be a long haul.”
