2022 was one of the most challenging years for the Reader Union, but we also had so many wins. Here’s a brief recap of what we accomplished, and what we’re going to fight for in 2023! (1/6)

If you got paid today & can spare it, consider supporting our @SEIULocal1 comrades during their layoff 👇

When @SEIULocal1 laid off our members this month, they made them choose: severance pay, or a spot on the callback list. With only 2 weeks notice, most needed the severance. Donate to help our members pay their bills while we fight for their jobs! gofund.me/0bf13b09

Forever will stand in solidarity with my former union colleagues. They're real ones and deserve oh so much better!!!! ✊🏽🖤

But we’ve had real losses. Five union members left the Reader in 2022. All are journalists of color. Says one: “The Reader has an opportunity to foster new talent, but if we don’t retain the journalists of color we already have, that potential goes to waste.” (4/6)

I'll continue cheering for the Reader from the sidelines, and will especially continue supporting my comrades at the @Reader_Union who deserve better pay for keeping the spirit of the paper alive.

Should say *solidarity* fund, rather than strike, but let’s show @HBHWorkers that we’ve got their back whatever they decide


Chicago is rich with podcasts & news sources (ahem) that aren’t the NYT. No Wordle for us today: it’s a pleasure to do the right thing & stand with @NYTimesGuild on the digital picket line.

We’re asking readers to not engage in any @nytimes platforms tomorrow and stand with us on the digital picket line! Read local news. Listen to public radio. Make something from a cookbook. Break your Wordle streak.

After 20 months of negotiations, enough is enough: Today, more than 1,000 @NYTimesGuild members pledged to walk out if @nytimes does not agree to a complete and fair contract by Dec. 8.

This is ugly, unnecessary, and goes against almost every tenet of journalism. Whenever Black people share their experiences with racism, there’s always some white person going out of their way to try to “prove” that it’s not the case. Truly disgusting.

STATEMENT: The NewsGuild of New York Condemns Federal Court Ruling Attacking Communications Between Workers and a Free Press (@SBWorkersUnited) This decision is an unprecedented violation of the fundamental principles of a free press and a brazen attack on workers’ rights.

Yesterday was the @NINA_for_news award’s ceremony. I won my first journalism awards for my coverage of Black Evanston and Evanston’s reparations project with @EvRoundTable! I won first place in Best Personality Profile, Best Coverage of Social Issues and Best Video! 🕺🏾

With municipal races heating up, @Chicago_Reader is bringing you everything you need to know about the new police oversight commission. At its first meeting last month, a mostly skeptical audience had wise words for the new commissioners: chicagoreader.com/news-politics/…
