inclusion rider 

A film industry contract provision that requires diversity in casting.
"What if those A-listers simply added an equity clause or an inclusion rider into their contract? Now, what does that mean? Well, you probably don't know but the typical feature film has about 40 to 45 speaking characters in it. I would argue that only 8 to 10 of those characters are actually relevant to the story. ( . . . ) The remaining 30 or so roles, there's no reason why those minor roles can't match or reflect the demography of where the story is taking place. An equity rider by an A-lister in their contract can stipulate that those roles reflect the world in which we actually live." - Stacy Smith at TEDWomen 2016

Inclusion Rider is a Hollywood movie and TV product contract term means “you can ask for and/or demand at least 50 percent diversity in not only the casting, but also the crew.” This made famous by 2018 Academy Award winning Best Actress Frances Dormand in her acceptance speech for her role in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
