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
On Sept. 22, @CascadePBSNews announced it was cutting its News and Investigations teams, laying off 9 @newsguild journalists. Here’s how you can help: gofundme.com/f/support-casca…
We’ve been bargaining with Cascade PBS since they announced layoffs last week, fighting for more severance for our members as they head into a brutal journalism job market. So far the company has refused to offer more than a week of severance beyond their contractual requirement.
Instead, CPBS is happy to save $ without cutting a dime of executive salaries. We’ve heard from lots of community members outraged that their donations are going to a $500K CEO paycheck. If you are too, please let the bosses know: actionnetwork.org/letters/te…
And if you want to help support journalists heading into an awful job market, please donate what you can to our GoFundMe. Thank you so much to everyone who has already contributed. ❤️ gofundme.com/f/support-casca…

Nine Guild-represented journalists and their editors have also lost their livelihoods as a consequence of this decision. We are crowdfunding to support our affected colleagues, and you can help by donating to our layoff fund. tinyurl.com/LayoffFund
Monday was a dark day for local news. But we can weather dark times when we fight together. And we’re going to fight like hell over the next few weeks to get these journalists what they deserve from @CascadePBSNews. tinyurl.com/LayoffFund
Thank you so much to everyone who stood by us in our contract fight. Now we’re asking for our community to stand by us in this critical moment for public media. Visit cascadepbs.org/donate to join the fight to sustain local journalism.
