The Directors Guild said today that it remains steadfast in our fight for an equitable and inclusive society despite the Supreme Courts rulings this week that rolled backaffirmative actionandLGBTQ+ rights.
On Thursday, the high court banned colleges and universities from taking race into account when considering students for admission.
Earlier today it ruled in favor of a web designer who refused on religious grounds to create websites that celebrate same-sex weddings.
After the Supreme Courts recent decisions over the past two days that rolls back decades of progress for people of color and the LGBTQ+ community, DGA president Leslie Linka Glatter said in a statement on behalf of the guild, we reaffirm our unequivocal commitment to eliminating discrimination in all its forms for people of color, women, LGBTQ+ individuals, people with disabilities and other historically underrepresented groups in film and television.
We will continue our decades-long fight to ensure fair and equitable treatment for all, and we will do our part to defend the rights and interests of all our members.
