Police in California (LAPD and Sacramento PD) this week keep giving more unlawful orders and threatening press at homeless encampment sweeps. Many videos in this thread 🧵. Some officers just make up nonexistent laws. Starting today in Los Angeles: https://t.co/XMm4RJCApB
As an avid reader (& subscriber) of CT Hearst articles, I am excited to see the news from @CTnewsguild today! Fair working wages are the bare minimum. Please do the right thing @insider_ct.
Local journalism fuels a healthy democracy, providing residents with the news that will impact them most & holding every one of us accountable. Better pay & benefits are necessary to recruit future journalists & retain staff so that this industry - & free speech - can thrive.
It felt so invigorating to join with my colleagues today to fight for the future of local news and ensure that we have a seat at the bargaining table!
Please share and engage to let Hearst know it’s time to recognize our unit! 🐋🗞️
We, the journalists of Hearst Connecticut Media, are forming a union.
We ask that Hearst voluntarily recognize our unit so we may begin negotiating a contract that benefits all parties, including our communities.

Shout out to the @NewsGuild! They are celebrating a milestone — more than 90 first contracts won in the last three years!
Congratulations to our newest members, dedicated organizers, and skilled negotiators!
