Gerardo, the son of MN Guild member Eustaquio Orozco Verdusco, will be a guest of Rep. Ilhan Omar at the State of the Union tonight in D.C. "Paco" was arrested by ICE in January and remains at a New Mexico detention center. He's an organizer at CTUL and a workers' rights advocate

The Minnesota Newspaper and Communications Guild unequivocally condemns the arrests of journalists Georgia Fort and Don Lemon, and we call on the Department of Justice to drop all charges against them. Read more here: mnguild.org/guild-condemns…

ATTN: Today's arrests of Georgia Fort and Don Lemon are an escalation to criminalize press freedom under the guise of law enforcement. The First Amendment is not optional, and journalism is NOT a crime. We demand their immediate release! newsguild.org/journalist-org…

🚨 Hennepin Healthcare staff are speaking out. A culture of fear, retaliation, and exclusion is harming frontline workers and the patients we serve. We demand transparency, equity, and support for our workers and their input. actionnetwork.org/petitions/end-…

Proposed visa restrictions for reporters show the U.S. is “less open and welcoming to foreign journalists…It is antithetical to the core values of American society as embodied in the First Amendment.” Proud to join @RSF_inter in this statement: rsf.org/sites/default/…

The journalists at ProPublica are incredibly talented BEYOND essential. They deserve a fair union contract!!

🚨 VICTORY: A federal court barred DHS from brutalizing journalists, legal observers & protesters in SoCal. Judge Vera: “The First Amendment demands better.” Journalists must be protected—not met with violence. @ACLU_SoCal @LAPressClub newsguild.org/victory-dhs-ba…

We stand in solidarity with our fellow union members who are losing their jobs. It's a sad end of an era of 158 years of printing our publication in Minnesota and we’re disappointed the Minnesota Star Tribune will no longer be printed in Minnesota by Minnesota union workers.

Happy to be a delegate for the @NewsGuildMN to the @newsguild sector conference!! Also repping my former colleagues at @SightlineUnion, who continue to fight for a fair and just contract✊🏼

We'll be at the Labor Pavilion on Day 1 (August 21) of the Minnesota State Fair. Stop by the CWA kiosk and introduce yourself!
