THREAD: I'm representing @aajadc chapter in the @nycmarathon this year to raise $5,000 for @aaja. The money will be used to support AAPI journalists tell important stories about our communities. If 50 of you give $100, we can meet our goal today. fundraisers.hakuapp.com/will-schick

Let’s go team!! 💪🏽💪🏽

📢 Statement: The Asian American Journalists Association stands with Yanqi Xu, the Flatwater Free Press (@flatwaterfreep) journalist who was the target of remarks that attempted to dismiss her reporting because of her country of origin. 🧵

Being a reporter, I never wanted to make myself the story. But this time, I thought there’s more at stake than myself. I think about the community I represent, and who might find the governor’s comment hurtful. A thread:

Come join @APIAVote @aaja @aajadc for this community mixer today! We’re at Lost Generation Brewing. Great food, drinks, and company on this rainy afternoon 😀

Just got this book in this week. It is written by a really talented friend and former classmate of mine. If you’re looking for a new exciting read, I highly recommend it!

Do you report on homelessness? Our #AccessFest23 panelist @schick_will recommends using this reporter’s guide from @streetsensedc. streetsensemedia.org/homeless-crisi…

Last night, the Unhoused and Undercounted series won the @homeless_law 2023 Stewart B. McKinney Award. This recognition is an honor, and I am so proud to have been a part of the project. (thread)

As the newest teammate at HQ, I would like to encourage all my friends and colleagues to give a $20 donation to @19ychen and @whycz3. These stunning journalists are each raising $5,000 to support AAJA programs and are running all 26.2 miles of the NYC marathon next month

Hello world, I am happy to announce that today was my first day as the new Director of Programs and Partnerships at @AAJA!

So apparently, there was some rfid chip error and I just learned that I finished 2nd overall 😳

Won my age group today at the Potomac River Half Marathon. Training for NYC Marathon is paying off. It is less than 30 days away and I’m still $430 short of my $5,000 goal. Will you donate $20 to help me reach it? fundraisers.hakuapp.com/fundraisers/63…
