Entertainment is a Family Affair:

 This Week We Highlight

Eva Longoria and Gabrielle Union

for their Support of a

Family-Friendly Industry

Celebrities are speaking out in support of a family-friendly entertainment industry, reports Jennifer Mattern for sheknows.com. Eva Longoria and Gabrielle Union have proven that it's possible and positive to welcome babies on set, in the writers' room, and even on the red carpet. "Union, [husband] Wade and baby Kaavia all made a red-carpet appearance last month as a family at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Sports Awards — a pretty good way to make the point." 

The FAM Committee invites Nickelodeon to recognize and support their own working families by adopting the Animation Guild's Parental Leave Policy during our next contract negotiation. Together, we have the power to build a more diverse and inclusive entertainment industry - we just have to take the first step.
