Washington, 46, also posted a TikTok of the trio’s volunteer experience, set to Montell Jordan’s “This Is How We Do It.”

In the clip, the former castmates write signs, fold T-shirts and explain the importance of the strike. “Why are we on strike?” Washington, who starred as political crisis manager Olivia Pope on the hit ABC drama, asked.

Goldwyn, who played Olivia's lover President Fitzgerald Grant on the series, replied: “We are on strike to get a fair deal for all workers in our industry who put so much on the line and we’re just asking for fairness for each other.”

“For fairness and equity and so we don’t get replaced by computers,” she said, referring to the issue of use of A.I. in entertainment. He added, “Yeah, that too.”

“I've been a proud @sagaftra #UnionMember since 1992,” Young wrote in part on Instagram Tuesday. “I'm so grateful for the family & protections that our union has given me - & I'm proud to stand vigilant so that those protections can continue to keep this family strong as our industry moves into a new paradigm.”

Earlier this month, Washington shared, “I stand in solidarity with my fellow #SAGAftra members and we will fight together to make sure our voices are heard. #unionstrong @sagaftra

On July 13, SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher excoriated Hollywood executives in a speech, announcing the union’s intention to strike after failed contract negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP).

“The entire business model has been changed by streaming, digital, A.I.," Drescher, 65, said in part during her passionate speech. "This is a moment of history that is a moment of truth. If we don't stand tall right now, we are all going to be in trouble."
