California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom has called on producers to film in his state rather than in those that have passed restrictions on abortion.
Newsom made the request in a tweet on Wednesday that challenged Hollywood’s filmmakers and introduced incentives for production in the Golden State. His post included an image of an ad his campaign paid to place in Variety.
“Today, Hollywood will wake up to this ad. Time to choose,” Newsom wrote. “You can protect your workers, or continue to support anti-abortion states that rule with hatred.”
The governor also laid out an invitation to encourage the film industry to work in California.
“We’re here for you. We’re extending tax credits for those that come home to the Golden State. Choose freedom. Choose CA,” he added.
Today, Hollywood
