The event will take place at SirReel Studios at 8500 Lankershim Blvd, Sun Valley, CA between 2pm and 6pm with organizers expecting 'hundreds' of people to attend.
The rally will feature speeches from industry leaders, union representatives, and community members, with a full list expected next week, along with opportunities for attendees to learn how they can support the movement.
'Los Angeles is at a crossroads,' said Pamala Buzick Kim, CA United Board Chairperson and Stay in LA co-founder, 'If we don't act now, we risk losing the very industry that built this city's reputation. This rally is about sending a clear message: We're staying in LA, and we need real solutions to keep our jobs here.'
This comes after the likes of Keanu Reeves and Bette Midler publicly supported the cause.
The campaign was launched by the Buzick Kim as well as Channel Zero writer Alexandra Pechman, Lessons In Chemistry director Sarah Adina Smith, Wes Bailey, Marie Dunaway, Nick Antosca, Julie Plec, Michael Sucsy, and Alex Winter.
The group has proposed uncapping the tax incentive for productions that shoot in LA County for the next three years as part of the overall disaster relief effort as well as calling on the studios and streamers to pledge at least 10% more production in LA over the next three years.
They want to uncap mediums to also bolster short-form productions such as commercials as well as post-production work, want to reduce or eliminate permit fees to lower the cost of production and address insurance restrictions.

Netflix's Little House on the Prairie Reboot Releases First Cast Photo as Filming Begins in Canada
Filming on Netflix's Little House on the Prairie is now underway in Canada — four months after the series was first greenlit — and with that milestone comes a photo of the full cast, at their first table read. Described as 'Part hopeful family drama, part epic survival tale, and part origin story of the American West,' Netflix's 'fresh' adaptation of Laura Ingalls Wilder's iconic semi-autobiographical Little House books promises 'a kaleidoscopic view of the struggles and triumphs of those who shaped the frontier.'

Lionsgate's ‘John Wick' Spinoff ‘Ballerina' Dancing To $35M+ Opening – Box Office Early Look
Lionsgate's From the World of John Wick: Ballerina hit three-weekend tracking Thursday with a projected $35 million-$40 million three-day debut. The Len Wiseman-directed movie, which underwent additional photography from director and John Wick architect Chad Stahelski, finally hits theaters June 6, a year after its previously scheduled opening. More from Deadline 'Final Destination: Bloodlines' Making Beeline To Record $35M-$40M Franchise Opening – Box Office Preview 'Ballerina' Trailer: Ana De Armas Faces Off Against Keanu Reeves In John Wick Spinoff Mel Gibson Sets 'Resurrection Of The Christ' With Lionsgate; Follow-Up To Blockbuster 'The Passion Of The Christ' Currently, the R-rating action title starring Ana de Armas and including a cameo by John Wick himself Keanu Reeves is solid with men over 25 in first choice, with both good unaided awareness with the overall over-25 crowd. John Wick: Chapter 4 (93% on PostTrak, and 82% definite recommend) drew 48% men over 25 (versus part 3's 45%) and 22% women over 25, as well as 22% men under 25. Diversity demos were massive on the John Wick movie, which pulled in 22% Latino and Hispanic, 21% Asian American and a very good 19% Black moviegoer turnout when it debuted in 2023. The fourthquel hit an all-time opening record for the Thunder Road-produced franchise at $73.8M. Ballerina's opening is north of John Wick: Chapter 2's $30.2M, which is the second-best start for the shoot-'em-up series. At $35M-$40M, this is where spinoffs live, i.e., Lionsgate's The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes ($44.6M) and Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore ($42.1M). As we always say, it's still early in the campaign, and following the kickass footage Lionsgate unveiled at CinemaCon back in April, Oscar nominee de Armas has been working it since then with BTS footage and more on social media. The reason why Ballerina is wedged here in a very competitive June is due to the fact that Reeves had a spot in his schedule to promote the film. Ballerina with reshoots cost between $80M-$90M, we hear. Lionsgate always sells off foreign to fund its movies, retaining U.S. and UK rights. The John Wick franchise counts $1.03 billion at the global box office with John Wick: Chapter 4 the highest-grossing title in the series at $440M-plus and 94% with critics on Rotten Tomatoes. Also going wide on June 6 is Focus Features' Wes Anderson movie , which has its world premiere Sunday at the Cannes Film Festival. The rollout is similar to Asteroid City two years ago, with a limited launch May 30 followed by a wide break the next weekend. High single digits looks to be the sweet spot for Phoenician Scheme. Asteroid City did a $9M wide opening after a beefy $853,000 limited start at six Los Angeles and New York City theaters (for a massive $142K per screen).
