“Here we are in 2021 and many still think they can affect change by pulling their business from the very people who helped get the statewide and national results they claim to want. Apparently the way to get people to vote the way you like is to yank them around, threatening their ability to pay their mortgage and feed their children. While a middle-class actor like me could, in reality, move to another state where there is work, there are many good folks in my industry who would not have that privilege. For many, a boycott could mean a continuing elbow from the powerful that drives them deeper into the margins with fewer escape routes.” – ArtsATL
