Padma Lakshmi hosted the National Book Awards, came outside before it started to take a union pin from the striking Harper Collins workers, then she fucking WORE IT THE ENTIRE NIGHT! @PadmaLakshmi you are a real one

[Erica De Chavez Wong @PandaErica]

@PadmaLakshmi Bravo! And THANK YOU for supporting our union workers last night. It means the world to see the public’s support so openly. ❤️‍����🙌🏽🥹

Here are some of the big-name authors expressing solidarity with the @hcpunion. https://t.co/VyA2Iq9l3l

[Michelle Brower @michellebrower]

This strike is so important; HarperCollins is one of the few publishers with a union workforce for junior employees. We NEED to make this business more equitable. See below for ways to help our Harper friends.

i’m a HarperCollins author and none of my books would ever get produced the way they do without all the brilliant editorial marketing and publicity staff who deserve better. i love my harper team and i want the best for them!! solidarity and waiting for a fair contract ❤️
