Where are strikes taking place?

We've heard about the big strikes in Los Angeles, but where else are writers and fans striking in support of the WGA Strike? We the authors strongly feel that the general public hasn't really been made aware of the many different locations that demonstrations are taking place. The California WGA demonstrations are the most covered (proximity to major studios certainly has something to do with this), and some of the national and international demonstrations haven't been covered at all.

Here are locations that have held demonstrations or are scheduled to hold demonstrations. We plan to add to this list frequently when new locations turn up. Our goal here is to give the bare facts and show the average television viewer or internet poster the scope of the WGA Strike's influence. The list is as follows:

Los Angeles
West Hollywood
Manhattan
Baltimore
Seattle
Boston
Atlanta
London
Dublin (Ireland)
Brisbane (Australia)
Perth (Australia)
Toronto

So as you can see, there are lots of different places that demonstrations have occurred other than just the L.A. locations we always hear about on the news. We the authors urge everyone to check these and other locations out on their own time to stay informed about the many aspects of this strike.
