No one looked up until it was too late, Elisabeth Moss says in a new video for Change.org.
The Handmaids Tale star is joined by Samira Wiley , Ann Dowd, Alexis Bledel and other members of the Hulu shows cast and crew in the video, where together they encourage viewers to visit the petition platform and help change laws and push for policies that improve peoples lives.
The apt partnership between the dystopian adaptation and Change.org was announced Tuesday, a few weeks after The Handmaids Tale earned an impressive 13 Emmy nominations . Since its debut on Hulu earlier this year, the show has been hailed for underscoring the importance of reproductive rights and the horrors of religious tyranny themes present in Margaret Atwoods classic 1985 novel and ever-relevant in todays political world .
The whole message that Margaret was sending in the book is that big changes like this dont happen overnight. They happen very slowly over time, almost so that you dont know that theyre happening until its too late, director Reed Morano explained previously .
In a statement provided to HuffPost, Change.orgs A.J. Walton emphasized the value of everyday people taking action on the issues that shape our society.
