I cover environment, courts, religion, and a lot of random breaking news for The Associated Press from our Nashville office. @APNewsGuild member. [email protected]

On May 15, Associated Press leadership cut 20 guild covered staff. Layoffs included U.S. news, photographers, investigations, business and sports across 12 states.

AP's Pulitzer Prize-winning investigation is the kind of work that executive editor Julie Pace says “highlights the unique strengths of AP’s global, multiformat newsroom.”

But those strengths are being hacked away as management leaves U.S. staffers in the dark on impending layoffs.

Tell AP you stand with the guild if you want more reporting like the one honored today with journalism’s most prestigious award.

Whatever tomorrow may bring, we will not stop fighting for better treatment for our members and for the ability to keep telling the stories that matter. The fight isn’t just for us, it’s for you.

Working in a newsroom, even remotely, is not like any other job. We didn’t just say goodbye to colleagues, but to decades long friends, confidants, storytelling partners, and role models who have shaped the way the world will understand its history for years to come.

Today, 40 Associated Press guild-covered employees across the U.S. who accepted buyouts left the newsroom for the final time. We’ve been told layoffs will be coming, with no clear timeline.

In solidarity, our members in office, at home, and in the field wore their union red today.

AP journalists in the U.S. are on the frontlines providing essential news coverage and documenting history each and every day.

AP was there because WE were there.

But more than 120 AP guild covered employees across the country were offered buyouts on April 6, and layoffs could be coming. And that makes the guild wonder, will AP be there for you in the future?

We need your help. Tell AP leadership to support the stories that matter and the people that cover them. Comment on stories you care about on https://t.co/wSijsMnjaU and on AP social media posts. Text AP’s Signal at [phone].

We’re negotiating our contract with @EFEnoticias — and it’s long overdue. Cost of living in the US is up 58.9% since 2006. Our wages? Just 19.9%. We’re falling behind. 🧵
