Join us Thursday for a rally to #SaveThePost!! The rally will run from noon to 1 p.m. Thursday at 1301 K St. NW!!
Bring friends! Bring gloves! Bring a love of journalism!
I love this organization and hope management can come to the table with a real willingness to reach a deal. Like all of us at ProPublica, I would much rather be focused on doing the journalism than negotiating our first contract.
We are so proud of our @propublicaguild.org members -- 80% of the unit has signed onto a pledge to do whatever it takes -- including going on strike - to win a fair contract. @propublica.org it's time to do the right thing and agree to a fair contract NOW!
I’m disappointed that ProPublica management has forced its workers into this position. We are asking for basic job protections, AI guardrails to protect our great journalism and journalists, and to make sure our wages can keep up with inflation.
Support us by following @propublicaguild.org
5/ Stand with us, donate if you’re able and help us remind management that WE are ProPublica.

4/ Going on strike means we will likely lose pay — a sacrifice we’re willing to make to win a fair contract. To support our members who cannot afford to miss a day’s pay, we’ve launched a strike fund.
3/ After more than two years of bargaining, our pledge makes clear that we are committed to doing what it takes to win the contract we deserve.
