''Striking television writers and their fans will take part in a 'Pencils' Press Conference at the United Federation of Teachers (UFT) headquarters, 52 Broadway. Since the strike began, fans of TV shows have been buying pencils to send to media moguls who head six major companies that dominate the AMPTP. Nearly 750,000 pencils have been purchased, to date, in the Pencils 2 Media Moguls effort, demonstrating a tremendous show of solidarity by fans.''
