Looks like the “no” side is mobilizing the star power.

As SAG called off its emergency Friday board meeting, more than 130 stars — including George Clooney, Matt Damon and Tom Hanks — have strongly urged SAG members to vote down the guild’s strike authorization.

In a letter sent Monday to leaders of the Screen Actors Guild, the stars cited the weakening economy as the key factor in their move. They also said that it’s time to “take the high road” by preparing to fight for a better deal in three years.

The letter comes with SAG scheduled to send out a strike authorization vote Jan. 2 to its 110,000 dues current members with ballots due back Jan. 23. For a strike to occur, at least 75 percent of those voting would have to affirm the authorization with the national board having the final say over a work stoppage.
