Hello friends in Fl, GA, and the Carolinas. I have a cousin in PR who desperately needs O Negative blood donations. If you, or folks you know, are able to donate, please have them reach out to me directly. Please help share the post.

Thank you! 🙏🏼

Asking for support on behalf of @civicnewsguild and our contract negotiations with management @CivicNewsCo. Show @Chalkbeat and @VotebeatUS that journalists, story editors and the picture editor (me) deserve a fair contract, sick days, pay that tries to keep up w/ inflation.

[Lauren Aguirre @laurencaguirre]

Last month, I had emergency surgery that meant suddenly taking two weeks off of work. With protected sick days, I wouldn’t have to worry about losing vacation days.

And rest/vacation is so important for mental health especially during the wild election year we’re going to have.

[Elaine Cromie @cromiee]

My one year at @CivicNewsCo is marked by contract negotiations because like what my colleague @sammie_smylie said, there is a very clear mismatch between value & practice. #1u #faircontract

[Samantha Smylie @sammie_smylie]

As one of the few Black journalists at Civic News Company, it feels demoralizing to work at a place where there is a clear mismatch between value & practice.

The only people that have my back is my union b/c they always fight for me and the contract proposals prove it. #1u

[Elaine Cromie @cromiee]

Instead of celebrating my 1st yr at @CivicNewsCo, our union is bargaining for a fair contract. Disappointed in management and wondering why there's such a huge pushback when the pay disparity is outrageous. Read more below on what we're fighting for! #1u #faircontractnow

[Civic News Guild @civicnewsguild]

(1/6) Civic News Guild’s contract will expire on June 30. Without it, our unit will work w/o protections that we fought for 3 years ago. Our bargaining team has been meeting w/ @CivicNewsCo to create a fair contract for workers. Here is what we’re fighting for:

[Elaine Cromie @cromiee]

Hey management at @CivicNewsCo, I hope to hear better news about bargaining ASAP. And why is there so much push back on our contract? Don't you want the people that make @Chalkbeat and @VotebeatUS run to be treated fairly?

[Writers Guild of America East @WGAEast]

Our members at @Chalkbeat and @VotebeatUS are ready to bargain a fair second contract NOW — but management at @CivicNewsCo has only given us TWO bargaining dates before the current contract expires on June 30.

Beautiful story from @kalynbelsha about what happened when Cincinnati Public Schools poured resources into helping homeless families find shelter. The money to support these efforts goes away next year. https://t.co/67Io8cqLWk #tellEWA #edchat Photos by @cromiee

Elena Milashina is one of us. She is among the bravest of journalists. She is a friend and beloved colleague. This vicious attack must rally us all. As our dear Elana would tell us, there is work to do.

Thank you, @_LSaunders_ for all of this info about how this will impact so many people. Terrifying about what’s going on in #PalestineOhio

沖縄の料理や自然を賞賛する東京在住の知人たちに、今ネットで話題になっている沖縄への揶揄・侮辱発言に抗議しないのかと聞いたら、「そういう重い話題はちょっと・・・」と沈黙。その沈黙が今の日本を形作ってきた。

[HosamSalem @HosamSalemG]

After years of covering the Gaza Strip as a freelance photojournalist for the New York Times, I was informed via an abrupt phone call from the US outlet that they will no longer work with me in the future.
