The unstoppable ‘Warrior Nun’ fandom expands its efforts to lend an assist to the WGA

You’d think the Warrior Nun fandom would be fairly stretched for time given the effort the Halo Bearers have been putting in over the last six months to try and save the series from the scrapheap, but you’d be dead wrong.

As remarkable as it’s been to see them coordinate forces and launch petitions, hashtags, campaigns, billboards, and all the rest of the bells and whistles that come with trying to will a third season of the acclaimed and immensely popular comic book adaptation into existence, they’re not done yet.

In fact, to coincide with the birthday of star Alba Baptista, the Halo Bearers have opted to ignite a fundraising drive in her honor that will financially benefit the Writers Guild of America, who are of course embedded in the midst of an ongoing strike that’s in real danger of grinding the whole of Hollywood to a fault.

As the majority of their efforts tend to do, the latest chapter in the wholesome worldwide operation has captured the imagination of showrunner and executive producer Simon Barry, himself a staunch supporter of both the WGA and the #SaveWarriorNun sensation, with the filmmaker offering his wholehearted thumbs-up on social media.

It’s been made abundantly clear countless times over that Warrior Nun supporters will not go quietly into the night, but they deserve an additional pat on the back for drum up even more awareness and remuneration for the The Entertainment Community Fund to Support Film and Television Workers. If that’s not dedication to the cause, then what is?
