From the Southern Poverty Law Center’s union. I know some of these people. They are incredibly dedicated individuals!

WBNG statement on on the U.S. government federal indictment on @splcenter.org @splcunion.bsky.social wbng.org/2026/04/22/w...

“… we will not be deterred, we will not be intimidated, and we will continue to condemn racism, sexism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, homophobia, and all hate for the blight that it is.”

Below is a statement from the unionized workers of the Southern Poverty Law Center.

"You hear a lot of liberal and Democratic rhetoric about how dire this moment is. I agree. The only thing I have ever wanted, for the SPLC + for everyone living through this extraordinarily challenging moment, is for us to act like it." Important and moving read from @michaelehayden.bsky.social.

We just ratified our second contract since we formed our union in 2019. Scroll through these slides to find out more!

Leqaa Kordia, in her own words, for @zeteo.com. Leqaa should be free. Her captors, and whichever outside organization collaborated with them, should be the ones in cages.

You can support us by sharing our posts and donating to our GoFundMe to help offset the cost of missed pay: www.gofundme.com/f/support-pr...

We’re ready to strike for a fair contract after fighting for job security, a fair disciplinary process, wages that reflect the value of our work and clear guardrails around AI for more than two years. www.propublicaguild.org/updates/the-...

Whatever you think of the Washington Post at this moment, here's a chance to support the dedicated, hard-working journalists who were just laid off. If you have the means, your donation is most welcome. If you don't, a kind thought and maybe spreading the word to others is support enough 💙

Solidarity with our union siblings at The Washington Post.

1 in 4 Minnesotans participated in the Jan. 23 shutdown against ICE, or had a loved one who did. Polling shows massive participation & support. @sarahlazare.bsky.social, @bloomekatz.bsky.social & @thomasbirm.bsky.social report with @workdaymagazine.bsky.social inthesetimes.com/article/labo...

“We’re having a constitutional crisis,” journalist @bygeorgiafort.bsky.social tells @democracynow.org. “What we’re seeing here in Minnesota is the people are continuing to stand. They are continuing to demand that our Constitution be upheld. I believe that journalism is not a crime.”

It takes all of us to make The Washington Post. Every section works together to create this authoritative, entertaining, worldwide news report. So, Jeff Bezos, #SaveThePost.

The detention of a Guild member in Minnesota amidst the chaos created by DHS is heartbreaking and infuriating. My heart goes out to his family, who are now without their father and husband.

On Friday, January 9, ICE arrested a member of our union, the Minnesota Newspaper and Communications Guild, as part of Operation Metro Surge. He has been transferred to a detention facility in Texas, where he is awaiting action on his petition for habeas corpus. newsguild.org/guild-member...

“Journalists have the right to do their jobs without fear of government interference,” said President Jon Schleuss. “Today’s FBI raid on a journalist’s home is a direct assault on the 1st Amendment and a threat to every working journalist. @postguild.bsky.social newsguild.org/the-newsguil...

WBNG condemns the FBI search of @postguild.bsky.social member Hannah Natanson's home & seizure of her electronics by federal agents Such actions represent a dangerous escalation that threatens press freedom & the fundamental role of journalists in holding power accountable wbng.org/2026/01/14/w...

🚨‼️: This morning, Pittsburgh strikers are back at work! @pghguild.com

A tremendous win for the movement from @newsguild.org & @cwaunion.bsky.social !

Breaking News: Late last night Conde Nast illegally fired 4 union organizers who asked company execs to explain the downsizing of Teen Vogue and continued layoffs. We’ve filed a grievance.

NEW: ICE is attacking journalists in Chicago, and the @chicagonewsguild.bsky.social is fighting back. "Journalism is not a crime," @jschleuss.com told @axios.com. The 1st Amendment makes press freedom a cornerstone of our democracy, and we will fight to defend it. www.axios.com/2025/10/06/d...

Many CWA members work at PBS & NPR stations and play a crucial role in keeping our communities informed. Without public television and radio stations, we will lose access to critical local news and programming.

Last night, President Trump issued yet another illegal executive order targeted at workers’ freedom to form unions and bargain contracts. cwa-union.org/news/release...

The following is a statement from Writers Guild of America East, AFL-CIO (WGAE), Executive Director Sam Wheeler:

makes sense to get ride of classic non-systemic issues, like immigration

CNN covers SPLC’s catastrophic decision to layoff its entire immigration staff in June. SPLC says it did so because they want to focus on “broad, systematic issues.” So why can’t SPLC executives explain how they plan to do so? www.cnn.com/2025/02/19/p...

A civil rights group that successfully defended migrant workers fired dozens of attorneys and staff. It leaves a huge void in immigration advocacy.

Two massive unions have sued the Treasury Department for granting Musk's “Department of Government Efficiency” access to federal government payment systems. SEIU and AFGE, with nearly 3 million combined members, are fighting DOGE's illegal activity. www.huffpost.com/entry/unions...

Late last night, with about 15 minutes notice to the Union, the NLRB’s HR sent an email adopting the terms of the forked-up resignation scam. HR also provided us a contract that appears to be drafted by AI or LegalZoom. As labor lawyers, we’re happy to go over this in detail. 🧵

ASAN staff is uniting to form the Autistic Self Advocacy Union! Today, we have officially asked management to voluntarily recognize our union. We hope they choose to do so soon!

🚨ACTION NEEDED: H.R. 9495 includes a poison pill provision that is a serious threat to nonprofits. This bill would remove due process and hand over considerable power to future administrations. Join us in urging Congress to vote NO on H.R. 9495! 🔗bit.ly/STOP9495

👋 Hi, we're the union of The Washington Post. We represent 1,000 people across the newsroom and in our commercial operations — including award-winning journalists and the talented marketing, advertising and printing plant staff who help readers and watchers find their work.

Hello! 👋 We’re the NewsGuild-CWA, the largest union of journalists and media workers in North America — a sector of the @cwa.org and an affiliate of the @aflcio.bsky.social. We'll be posting here to build community beyond the other app. Could you help us get connected?

SPLC Union members had the bravery to use their full names in this Guardian story about our recent vote of no confidence in Margaret Huang’s leadership. Meanwhile, SPLC leadership hid behind anonymity to deliver corporate doublespeak. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

The SPLC Union said in a statement that the vote, which came at the end of August, reflected criticism of recent layoffs at the civil rights nonprofit, and accused leaders of having anti-union attitudes. #alpolitics

If you’ve ever read so much as one SPLC story for 20 seconds, we need you to write to our board and tell them: It’s time for Margaret Huang to go. actionnetwork.org/letters/splc...

Today, @splcunion.bsky.social went public with our request to the SPLC Board to remove Margaret Huang as CEO. A majority of bargaining unit members, myself included, voted no confidence in her leadership. We did so after SPLC laid off a quarter of our unit in June. tinyurl.com/vncsplc

A good morning to organized labor in the nonprofit sector taking on the daunting task of pushing nonprofits to live up to their actual mission, I appreciate u

In three successive votes, SPLC staff used the tools of workplace democracy to express their lack of faith in SPLC leadership. Each time, they gave Margaret Huang and SPLC management a failing grade. That is why we are now calling for the Board to remove Margaret Huang as CEO.
