Celebrities are auctioning off unusual, creative services to raise money for unionized production members, some of whom have not worked for months, amid writers' and actors' strikes in Hollywood.
The collective fundraising effort comes from The Union Solidarity Coalition (TUSC), a group of writers and directors "moved to connect with crew affected by the 2023 WGA strike," according to its website. "We want to think big about how we can support each other in the face of a national labor crisis," the group writes.
The auction, created to raise funds for crew members who have lost their health insurance due to strike-related shutdowns, is taking place on eBay, and includes some downright eccentric experiences for bidders.

Robert Morris, founding pastor of Gateway Church, a megachurch in Southlake, Texas, has been indicted on five counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child, stemming from alleged incidents dating back to the 1980s, the Oklahoma attorney general's office announced Wednesday. We are aware of the actions being taken by the legal authorities in Oklahoma and are grateful for the work of the justice system in holding abusers accountable for their actions. We continue to pray for Cindy Clemishire and her family, for the members and staff of Gateway Church, and for all of those impacted by this terrible situation.
