After it was announced that she would be joining “Dancing With the Stars”, Jamie Lynn Spears took to social media to pledge that she would donate her salary for the WGA writer’s strike and the SAG-AFTRA actor’s strike.

“Decided to lace up my dancing shoes for a good reason,” Jamie Lynn wrote in the caption of her Instagram post. “I was offered an opportunity that is completely out of the ordinary of something I would normally ever do, but it’s during a time where my community #SAG & #WGA are on strike & all of us members are unable to work until we have reached a fair resolution, so if I’m able to use this unique opportunity to bring more awareness and to donate the salary I get for dancing each week back to the community who has given me so much, then it’s the least I can do.”
