Support the work of Josh Farinella, a brave whistleblower, who did what was right and leaked documents showing serious concerns about food safety and human rights.
Mr. Farinella was the general manager of a shrimp packaging plant in Andhra Pradesh, and quit his job in order to expose the chilling deceptions and violations in the booming export industry: workers housed like animals, mistreated and underpaid, and products – later sold by Walmart, ShopRite and Hannaford – falsely labelled to cover up the use of prohibited antibiotics.

Thank you for an incredible night at the Oscars ✨ Congratulations, Emma Stone, Holly Waddington, James Price, Shona Heath & Zsuzsa Mihalek of Production Design, and Nadia Stacey, Mark Coulier & Josh Weston of Makeup and Hairstyling for their wins for Poor Things. And… thank you to our Hungarian counterparts and fellow film makers in Budapest. Incredible artists and film makers in their own right.
Tonight at the Oscars, I stand with the women of my @myvoicemychoiceorg , who use this “finger heart” to champion the RIGHT TO CHOOSE.
The issue of reproductive rights reminds me of Poor Things. To quote from the film: “It is your body, Bella Baxter. Yours to give freely.” But the Far Right opposes this powerful message. In the US & EU alone, they’ve cut tens of millions of women from essential abortion rights.
So it was inspiring to see how women in Europe are already using the “heart finger” to express love for women’s rights at the ballot box. This symbol is meant to be a beautiful reminder that, like those 2 fingers, when we unite in solidarity across divides, we become the beating center of humanity’s heart. And voting is the lifeblood that keeps that heart strong.
Perhaps it’s no coincidence that the heart symbol forms a ‘V’—for VOTE. Voting protects those the globally coordinated Far Right victimizes: women & children, democracy & our planet.
So, in 2024, let’s spread this symbol and use our votes to protect women & ALL LIFE!
We come together as artists and advocates, but most importantly as human beings in support of an immediate and permanent ceasefire, a release of all of the hostages and humanitarian aid to the millions of civilians in Gaza.
We stand for freedom, justice, dignity and peace for all people. Our tax dollars must not be used to kill children ANYWHERE.
We must fight for a lasting peace. Ceasefire now! Ceasefire forever! Read our full letter at artists4ceasefire.org
#Artists4Ceasefire#PermanentCeasefireNOW
For all the innocent children whose lives have been shattered in Gaza, we say with united hearts: NOT IN OUR NAME... All the killing must stop.
At this moment, one out of every two children under six in Gaza is acutely malnourished and at risk of starvation. Join the world in demanding an immediate ceasefire now in Palestine. Our humanity depends on it. ‘Another world is possible, and we pledge to make it real.’ #CeasefireNow#NOTINOURNAME#FreePalestine#Artists4Ceasefire#ReturnTheHostages

It’s been an honor working as a producer of Burned: Protecting the Protectors, alongside Ethereal Films. In just one year since its release, Burned has been shown in every state in the US, screened for the Massachusetts State House and US Congress, and requested in Canada, Australia, Europe, and Japan. It’s become a catalyst for an international reform campaign to protect millions of first responders from toxic chemicals, inspiring policy change and countless lawsuits. You can watch the trailer, linked in my bio, and read more about Burned’s impact at etherealfilms.org/impact
Thank you for the most beautiful speech you wrote for my star ceremony. Your words were so beautiful and inspiring and all acting can and should be and all receiving a star should mean. Thank you for 20+ years of friendship. I was so honored to give a star to you and your pops Bruce Dern and your Mom Diane Ladd. The holy trinity of acting. “The Father the Mother and the Holy Ghost.” Full circle.
