Inevitable Foundation on Wednesday unveiled a letter calling for improved disability representation in Hollywood, co-signed by 30+ industry notable

The letter is signed by 30+ industry leaders, both as allies and members of the disability community, including CODA filmmaker Sian Heder and star Marlee Matlin, As We See It ‘s Jason Katims and Rick Glassman, Ramy ‘s Ramy Youssef and Steve Way, and Hacks co-creators Paul W. Downs, Lucia Aniello and Jen Statsky, as well as the likes of Alyssa Milano, Samara Weaving, and filmmaker Paul Feig. More so, it’s about improving on bad business, given all the money Hollywood is leaving on the table by ignoring a disabled population consisting of 1B+ people worldwide, in choosing which stories to bring to the screen.
