'Inclusion Rider'

The 'Inclusion Rider' is a tool that organizations and professionals can use to advance representation in the film (and other industries), designed to promote diversity in film casting and production.  It sets forth a hiring process that incorporates a commitment to deepening and diversifying hiring pools. The provision gained worldwide attention following the 2018 Academy Awards, where it was mentioned by Frances McDormand in her 'Best Actress' acceptance speech. In 2021, a reimagined rider template was released, as well as a model policy for companies. These materials were developed by Kalpana Kotagal, Fanshen Cox, and Endeavor Content HR head Dr. Tasmin Platter as part of a coalition involving Color Of Change’s #ChangeHollywood initiative. The updated version expands on the original legal framework, and focus on intersectional inclusivity, encompassing gender, race and ethnicity, LGBTQIA identity, age, and disability. It also provides additional tools for hiring crew from underrepresented backgrounds and introduced accountability measures.
