Hundreds of theater workers marched down Broadway on Thursday, rallying to demand more inclusion in the industry, protesting producer Scott Rudin and to call for greater transparency from the Actors' Equity Association union. "I believe that change is possible. I believe that a Broadway led by a racially diverse, many-gendered or non-conforming, many-abled theater community is possible," said speaker Jaime Cepero. "I believe that a consistently safe work environment in the theater is possible." Organizers had several demands, including finding how 2020 Equity dues were spent and what percentage is used to help conversations around diversity. They demanded greater inclusion for transgender, nonbinary and gender-nonconforming artists and urged efforts to improve diversity within the labor union's council. Much of the ire was directed at Rudin, who continues to face fallout following renewed accusations of bullying and harsh treatment of his employees. He has said he will step back from theater and film projects to "work on personal issues I should have long ago." Speaker after speaker on Thursday cursed his name and demanded he be removed from The Broadway League, the powerful group of theater producers. "Hey, hey, ho ho. Scott Rudin has got to go!" the crowd chanted. The League has not commented on the demand. Tap link in bio to continue on @EDGEmedianetwork ?️‍?✊?? (?: AP Photo/Mary Altaffer)
