Thousands gathered for a massive Friday rally in downtown Los Angeles to support the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike.

More than a dozen unions joined the writers in solidarity including the United Teachers of Los Angeles, the Service Employees International Union, Sag-Aftra and more. California Congressman Adam Schmidt also made an appearance.

Attendees can be seen marching on streets while holding signs saying, “Unions Strike Back,” the theme of Friday’s gathering.

“This is the first time that we’re all together and that’s what we really needed," said Kristen Thomas, who has been picketing with WGA for the last four weeks. "We needed to have support. We needed to know other people wanted to help out and stay connected. 'United not divided' as we say.”
