Everyone’s favorite member of Pawnee is the latest to join the writers and actors strike.

Parks and Recreation? More like Pay and Regulation.

PEOPLE reported that Aubrey Plaza, Nick Offerman, Adam Scott, Ben Schwartz, Sam Elliott, Jim O'Heir, Retta and Allison Becker reunited with the adorable miniature horse outside the Amazon offices in Culver City, California.

Lil Sebastian was photographed next to his former co-star, Plaza, who carried a sign that read ‘Ann Perkins works for the AMPTP, referring to Rashida Jones’ character on the NBC series.

Plaza also wore an ‘April L’ name tag to honor her Parks and Recreation character.

Last month, The White Lotus star shared a photo via Instagram with her five million followers standing next to Stranger Things actor Brett Gelman, with a sign that read, ‘Do you have equal wages? It’d be a lot cooler if you did’ referencing the 1993 film Dazed and Confused.

Offerman has also shown his allegiance with the SAG-AFRA strike as he was spotted marching the streets last month.

“It is a privilege to picket in solidarity with @WGAwest seeing new friends and old, all of us laborers striking for fair pay and so much more," he penned on Instagram.

"If it ain’t on the page, it ain’t on the stage, folks."


Parks and Rec lead actor Amy Poehler also weighed in on the strike, telling The Hollywood Reporter it feels different from the one decades earlier.

“I know a lot of triple-hyphenates—SAG, WGA, DGA—are talking more, which is exciting to see in terms of strength in numbers and solidarity,” she told the outlet.

“So I feel, anecdotally, people that aren’t in the business are more aware of it than they were last time.”

“It’s this general concern about ‘Where will jobs go?’ and ‘How can corporations be doing so well, and yet the wages of writers continue to go down?’ The pure labor movement part does feel like a shared knowledge or experience that’s different than 2007-2008,” Poehler added.

Last month, Fran Drescher, SAG-AFTRA president, said for the first time since 1960 actors and writers would join the same picket line in film and television productions to negotiate for better pay and residual rights in the age of streaming.

It comes after the actor's union released a statement announcing that contract talks ended the night before without a resolution.

“The companies have refused to meaningfully engage on some topics and on others completely stonewalled us. Until they do negotiate in good faith, we cannot begin to reach a deal,” she revealed in a press conference.
