Pledges

Once you join, you’ll start by taking a goal-oriented pledge. Below are some pledges currently being used by our global partners.

Free The Bid

Do you bid multiple creators? Present multiple scripts? All we ask is that you make sure there’s at least one underrepresented creator in the mix. Easy enough, right?

Cortez Call

Named after the Cortez Brothers, this pledge ensures underrepresented creators have enough time to bid your project. In other words, bring them in first, not last to see them shine.

Reflection

This pledge commits to awarding a percentage of the work to creators who reflect the US demographic. Because fair is fair is fair.
