How do you influence Hollywood?
In 1995 an informal group of gay activists formed “Out There,” a network of studio professionals, writers and actors. Their goal – impact Hollywood. They launched political initiatives and found ways to inject a pro-gay message into the entertainment content on which they worked, as well as influencing their peers in the industry.
ECO, Earth Communications Office, in Los Angeles and Nashville, is a
consortium of more than 1,000 motion picture and entertainment professionals: actors, writers, directors, producers, lawyers, and others who are finding ways to get the environmental message into their work.
Have these efforts been successful?
By any standard they have been. Should only these and other ‘politically correct’ and ‘socially popular’ messages be promoted? Perhaps it is more appropriate to ask, “Is it these efforts that have in fact made these issues socially popular?” You be the judge.

We are single-issue in our focus and non-sectarian. We are dedicated to protecting the dignity and value of the human person from conception to natural death.
People are not mere things to be disposed of; they should not be treated as such.
We network in a variety of formats from informal coffees to conferences. We ascribe to the non-sectarian, single issue approach of the National Right to Life Committee, which welcomes people of all backgrounds who wish to restore the once commonly regarded standard that in society innocent human life should be given our first consideration.
The care of human life and happiness, and not theirdestruction, is the first and only legitimate object of good government.”
