Our workers were laid off with NO SEVERANCE and told their health insurance will be gone in 7 days. Help them pay for housing, food, medicine and other necessities while they continue to fight these illegal and retaliatory layoffs. Donate today: https://t.co/EnZP556U11
The journalists at the Long Beach Post are some of the best, most hard-working people I’ve ever worked with.
They deserve so much better than this. Long Beach deserves so much better than this.
The @LBMGuild waited for over a week for our board and CEO @MelissaEvansLB to recognize our union so we could begin negotiations to save jobs. That effort was met with 9 layoffs Friday that gutted the newsroom — but we are resolved to save these papers. We need your help. 🧵
Why are there so many mentally ill people on the street, and why does it seem like nobody is able to help them? That was one of the biggest questions the @LongBeachPost staff set out to answer when we started reporting on homelessness last year.
🚨 Sounding the alarm that we need to ADOPT ALL THE DOGS! 🚨 Starting tomorrow, Long Beach's shelter may need to start euthanizing dogs for space because the kennels (and conference rooms and offices) are all full. from @ARobWriter - https://t.co/VH4SI3jOJ3
Excited to welcome three talented journalists to the newsroom, and to take on a new role myself! Great news for our team heading into 2023. https://t.co/iNB4BkYwKC
Mayor Robert Garcia's last meeting as mayor of Long Beach was last night. @hemdash spoke with him about the last eight years as leader of the city for the @LBBizJourn. Read more here: ⬇️⬇️ https://t.co/dca3yNmrlf
Of course, the elephant in the room is that the operator in question owns the @LongBeachPost and @LBBizJourn. Here’s a note from @MelissaEvansLBP
about how the team navigated the obvious conflicts of interest in covering this story. https://t.co/h7h6aVT27h
In trying to reopen Community Hospital, LB leaders took a huge risk in agreeing to assume the operator’s debt if the endeavor failed. Now, CHLB is closed for good, and LB is on the hook for millions in losses. An inside look by @KellyPuenteLB @_Brandon_E https://t.co/W5pd6WbAeE
I am SO excited about the new @LBBizJourn website that launched today—and the print redesign that debuts tomorrow! Such a needed refresh. Much thanks to the entire Studio LBP team who have been working on this for months 🙏 Please go check it out! https://t.co/gTmkc32d5I
ICYMI over the weekend—@cmslbbj had a great story on the fate of Long Beach’s Found Theatre, which included some news on the latest plans for City Place. https://t.co/9Ra22wUDKD
Big announcement this morning: Alan Lowenthal, the 5-term Congressman that has been in elected office since 1992 says he's retiring in 2022. Opens up his seat and could be the first domino in a cascade of changes for the city's political landscape.
