No matter where you live, your legislators need to hear how important your local PBS/NPR station is to you.
Send them an email through this form, and if you have a few extra minutes, give them a call.

We start bargaining today! Our CBA expires in Nov and a lot’s changed in the last few years since we won our first contract. We look forward to bringing articles that better reflect the current landscape of our work.
What do you think should be in any modern CBA for a tech shop?

At yesterday's rally, @freepress lead us in a chant of "Whose streets? Sesame Street!" That made it on to @jimmykimmel last night.😂
But seriously, folks: call and write your representatives.

SESAME STREET WORKERS ARE UNIONIZING!!! ✊
This morning, workers at the nonprofit behind @sesamestreet delivered their letter asking for voluntary recognition to management. Follow and support their campaign: @SesameWorkersU

Millions of workers would become union members tomorrow if they could. But American labor law is broken, weighted on the side of bosses and against workers.
The PRO Act is long overdue. We urge elected leaders to move this critical legislation forward.

For profit media conglomerates have fired thousands of journalists covering local news and politics over the last decade.
Publicly funded and locally controlled NPR and PBS newsrooms employ two thousand journalists spread across all fifty states.

Public media stations like KTWU keep communities informed, connected, and inspired every day, but this vital local service isn’t guaranteed. Learn more at Protect My Public Media. #ProtectPublicMedia bit.ly/4hvzhXT

Could you survive on the salary of an @NBCNews PA?
Here’s what our monthly budgets look like — no savings, no security. We’re barely scraping by, paycheck to paycheck, one financial surprise away from catastrophe.
Tell NBC News to pay us fairly and agree to a FAIR CONTRACT NOW:
ALT Monthly budget from an NBC News Digital PA -- TAKE HOME PAY = $2,877 minus NYC RENT at $1,300, UTILITIES at $250, GROCERIES at $600, TRANSPORTATION at $132, STUDENT LOANS at $300, PHONE BILL at $120, INCIDENTALS at $175, and SAVINGS at $0 equals FINAL AFTER EXPENSES $0 -- FAIR CONTRACT NOW

this website feels like such a weird empty place lately and so i am finally ready to speak my truth: it's "Tiny Desk concert." not "Tiny Desk Concert."

The @NYTGuildTech picket line made its way to SF! ✊
We are with @AlphabetWorkers to let NYT know that they can't hide from us. Enough is enough!

TIME IS RUNNING OUT, @nytimes!!
We’re at Grand Army Plaza today, Scabby in tow, to warn NYC that their hometown paper is at risk of shutting down — unless we get the contract we deserve! 🔥✊🔥
From yesterday's picket: Bjorn (NPR) and Jordan (NYT) are @CODE_CWA devs who used to work at NPR together.
At NPR we have a contract with just cause, after hours, and remote work protections. @NYTGuildTech is holding the line on these fundamentals for *all* media workers. #1u
Executives seem to believe that if software engineers, product managers, designers, QA, helpdesk, etc. go on strike, they can operate with managers or scabs without loss of revenue.
Listen to this tech guild developer set them straight.
Today, 400+ supporters showed out in solidarity w/ @NYTGuildTech workers to demand a fair contract after over two years of bargaining!
Management’s stalling threatens a potential strike on Election Day—a crucial day for coverage—as these tech workers run NYT’s digital ecosystem.
We'll be at this rally tomorrow to support our @NYTGuildTech union siblings in their struggle for a fair contract! See you tomorrow at noon! ✊🏙️🪧
JOIN US WEDNESDAY outside the @nytimes on Wednesday at noon - @NYTGuildTech and hundreds from across our union to gather to issue a warning to @nytimes: Time is running out to avoid a strike
We Build NPR retweeted
We are the tech workers who power @nytimes. Last month 95% of us voted to authorize a strike. There is one week left to reach a deal before the election. If we do not, we are ready to walk. Please help us spread the word!
We Build NPR retweeted
Time is running short, and we are letting our community know! We’re outside NYT HQ spreading the word that @nytimes leadership needs to come to the table if we want to finish this contract before the election and avert a strike.
