Supporters of the “Stay in LA” campaign have more than doubled in the four days since it launched, with several A-listers now throwing their weight behind the petition.
Among them, Keanu Reeves, Olivia Wilde, Bette Midler, Patty Jenkins, Rian Johnson, Kevin Bacon, Joey King, Zooey Deschanel, LeVar Burton, Joshua Jackson, Alex Winter, Connie Britton, Sian Heder, Jason Reitman and Charlie Hunnam.
They join a growing list of supporters that in just three days has pushed the number of signatories from 6,000 to, as of this writing, more than 14, 729.
Organized by writer Alexandra Pechman and director Sarah Adina Smith, the petition calls for California politicians and studios to “help our beloved city rebuild itself and ensure L.A.’s future viability as a place where craftspeople, film workers and businesses thrive.” Among its proposals, it asks the state to uncap the tax incentive for productions that shoot in Los Angeles County, and urges studios and streamers to pledge at least 10% more production in L.A. over the next three years.
Many entertainment industry figures have enacted efforts to help out Los Angeles since the fires — for example, Vin Diesel announced that Universal will finish shooting “Fast X: Part 2” in Los Angeles, noting that his sister pointed out that “Los Angeles needs it now more than ever.”
The “Stay in LA” campaign has gained even more star power, with Keanu Reeves and Patty Jenkins joining the cause. The campaign, which aims to encourage people to stay in Los Angeles and support local businesses during the pandemic, has now reached over 15,000 supporters.
Reeves, known for his roles in “The Matrix” and “John Wick,” and Jenkins, the director behind “Wonder Woman” and “Monster,” have both shown their support for the campaign on social media. They have urged their followers to stay in LA and help the city recover from the economic impact of COVID-19.
With the support of these two Hollywood heavyweights, the “Stay in LA” campaign is sure to gain even more momentum. Supporters are encouraged to continue spreading the word and supporting local businesses as they navigate these challenging times. Stay in LA, support LA! #StayinLA.
