We are happy that CAP has honored our request. Thank you all for the support during this difficult chapter.
We are honoring the request of former @ThinkProgress staff to archive ThinkProgress.org with no further posting and end ThinkProgress’ membership program.
Full statement: americanprogressaction.org/p…
Thank you all so much for the outpouring of support. Please see below for our statement on CAP's decision to lay off our entire unionized newsroom.
UPDATE: ICYMI, Last night CAP agreed to our ask. ThinkProgress will be archived, and recurring donations will be stopped. We are grateful for the solidarity, and encourage you all to unionize your newsrooms. ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏾xitter.cf/tp_union/status/117143…
Sending the @vox_union love and positive energy from our offices in DC! Keep up the good fight ✊✊✊✊✊
And I oop...
This tweet is interesting for a lot of reasons, but also because Sanders kinda challenged the editorial independence in the CBA of @TP_Union (also part of @WGAEast, and also backing @vox_union) just a few weeks ago.

The Vox Media Union has walked out today. Here’s what it looks like in the New York office.

I came to Vox almost 3 years ago. It’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. And I was finally promoted a couple months ago. But so many of my brilliant colleagues aren’t so lucky. They deserve better.
I hope the company agrees to a fair contract with @vox_union.
Wow! @vox_union you all deserve a fair contract. Standing with you!
Today‘s our last scheduled day of bargaining.
@voxmediainc is still apart from us on:
- competitive wage scales
- strong guaranteed raises
- better severance
- subcontracting work
We’ve decided we’re not showing up to work today until we resolve these issues.
ThinkProgress Union retweeted
With this being the last scheduled day of bargaining, the SBNation.com NBA team won’t be providing any Game 3 coverage today until @vox_union receives a fair contract.
This was a hard decision, but securing that contract today is more important than an NBA Finals game
Yep, we absolutely do ✊✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
Wow. @TP_Union stands in solidarity with you all. Come on, @voxmediainc @Bankoff. Give your workers the fair contract they deserve.

We’re thrilled to announce Vox Entertainment has unionized! We welcome our friends — who produce television shows like Explained, No Passport Required, and Consider It — to the @WGAEast family.

👏Recognize 👏the👏damn👏 @bfnewsunion 👏 NOW👏
Today marks two months since going public with our campaign to form a union and create a more equitable BuzzFeed News.
The company still hasn’t recognized our union - making them an outlier among digital media companies. #BuzzFeedNewsUnionNow
Omg bruh! @BuzzFeedNews what’s up?!
This week we hit our 56th day without recognition from BuzzFeed. Our analysis found it took similar outlets an average of 21 days to be voluntarily recognized.
We've now gone longer without being recognized than any other outlet we tracked. #BuzzFeedNewsUnionNow
