I have bad news if you were hoping to chant with us today………we have a deal!
We’ve had a week to work on our chants and not to toot our own bullhorn, but we’ve gotten pretty good at them! Here’s a selection you might hear if you join us on the picket line:

Police in California (LAPD and Sacramento PD) this week keep giving more unlawful orders and threatening press at homeless encampment sweeps. Many videos in this thread 🧵. Some officers just make up nonexistent laws. Starting today in Los Angeles: x.com/shoton35mm/status/1828…

Earlier, LAPD officers threatened to arrest me for filming a sanitation "cleanup" within their "work zone." The officers struggled to cite a law that supports their claims. I gave up when a Sgt said I would be given a "final warning" before being taken away in handcuffs. @LATACO

Local journalism fuels a healthy democracy, providing residents with the news that will impact them most & holding every one of us accountable. Better pay & benefits are necessary to recruit future journalists & retain staff so that this industry - & free speech - can thrive.
We, the journalists of Hearst Connecticut Media, are forming a union. We ask that Hearst voluntarily recognize our unit so we may begin negotiating a contract that benefits all parties, including our communities. Read our full mission statement here 👇

Our employer wants the power to replace our reporters with AI. Today, we’re reminding our newsroom leadership that our people are our strength.

FIVE DAYS AWAY from Prime Day and one day until we’re back at the bargaining table — The preparation for our walk out continues! Today we are outside @ziffdavis HQ making signs and getting fired up for our potential work stoppage, unless management gets real on our contract.
