Man, there’s going to be a ton of stories like this.

Grey’s creator Shonda Rhimes was originally going to continue work on the show, but after some soul-searching, changed her tune.

I have to tell all of you that this email directly reflects the stance I came to over a very long night in New York. I absolutely believed that I would edit our episodes. Until a thought hit me: how can I walk a picket line and then continue to essentially work? How am I supposed to look at myself in the mirror or look at my child years from now and know that I did not have the courage of my convictions to stand up and put myself more at risk than anyone else? So I choose not to render my services as a producer. I choose to honor the strike. And I am proud that you all stand with me.

It’s amazing how broad and far-reaching this strike is. Every article I read increases my amazement at how many people are impacted.
