Entertainment industry professionals have launched a new petition urging productions to remain in Los Angeles amid concerns that the devastating Southern California wildfires could trigger a mass exodus of film and television projects.

The initiative, titled Stay in L.A., was spearheaded by CA United, a grassroots coalition of over 5,000 California residents, in partnership with The Union Solidarity Coalition, a group of writers and directors that formed to support crew members amid strikes.
