We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica website or engaging with ProPublica stories today.

Yesterday, 92% of us voted YES (99% participation) to authorize a strike if @propublica management refuses to compromise on core issues.
We need a fair contract that will protect the in-depth investigative reporting that our readers expect.

Skagit County has ordered Mount Vernon and upriver communities of Hamilton, Rockport, Marblemount and Concrete to evacuate to high ground as soon as possible.
Everyone in Skagit County living in the 100-year floodplain will likely receive an evacuation notice today. Check if your property is in the floodplain: skagitcounty.net/GIS/Documen…
Following evacuation orders and other guidance from local officials is critical.

It’s difficult to find words to express how our unit is feeling right now, but we’ll take a stab at it: shocked, disappointed, angry. @CascadePBSNews’ choice to eliminate long-form written reporting is a massive loss for our community in a critical moment. tinyurl.com/LayoffFund

We can’t produce fearless investigative journalism without job security and a fair contract. After almost two years of bargaining, we need your help.

We’re holding a lunch-out today to demand that @propublica management agree to a fair discipline and performance evaluation system. Just today, a member of our Bargaining Committee and Unit Council was fired as a result of ProPublica's flawed system.

For transparency: We created this fund using the settlement from a public records lawsuit we filed against the university years ago. This represents the full amount after attorney's fees and taxes, except for $2K used for a plaintiff's emergency expense, which we all approved.

In June, a woman named Stephenie reached out to @propublica. An outreach worker told her we were reporting on cities conducting sweeps of homeless encampments, and she had a story to tell. 🧵

11) We heard from 30 people, including Stephenie, who tried to retrieve items but hit barriers. Dozens of others said they didn’t try because the process was inaccessible.
When people's belongings are taken in sweeps, they rarely get them back.
