Hire Disabled Writers Initiative

The Hire Disabled Writers Initiative is transforming the entertainment landscape. Supported by trailblazers like Marlee Matlin and Lauren Ridloff, we're breaking down industry barriers for disabled creatives. Discover the Disabled Consultant Futures Fund, ensuring fair negotiations and opening doors for disabled writers, directors, and actors, and explore our LA-based billboard campaign reminding the industry to “Hire Disabled Writers, Not Just A Disability Consultant."

Concierge

A free, high-touch service that connects disabled writers with creative executives, showrunners, and producers for development and staffing opportunities. We share the profiles and writing samples of our Concierge Writers with the hundreds of Creative Executives and Showrunners we meet each year with the goal of fostering fruitful professional connections. In the last eight months, we've fielded over 200 inquiries from 75 different companies, and set up over 50 general meetings.

The "Cost" of Accommodations Report

A research report by Inevitable Foundation which examines the real consequences for disabled talent when their accommodation needs go unmet and demystifies the true financial cost of accommodations for the industry. The report includes the first set of budget templates and accommodation benchmarks to help producers, creative executives, showrunners and accountants budget for and deliver accommodations.

Disability is Diversity Campaign

The Disability is Diversity Campaign is an international out-of-home campaign that raises the profile of disability as an essential pillar of diversity and celebrates the diversity that exists within the disability community itself. It is the first national campaign ever designed and produced by an all-disabled creative team and we have received close to $3 million in donated media across over 15 cities including Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Atlanta, and Boston, in addition to placements in a number of print and digital publications.
