We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica website or engaging with ProPublica stories today. Tell ProPublica’s management you won’t cross the picket line: actionnetwork.org/petitions/tell…

Yesterday, 92% of us voted YES (99% participation) to authorize a strike if @propublica management refuses to compromise on core issues. We need a fair contract that will protect the in-depth investigative reporting that our readers expect. Support us: gofundme.com/f/support-prop…

⚠️ The National Weather Service has issued a Flash Flood Warning on Dec 15 for King County. * Until 900 PM PST Monday. If you are in low lying areas below the you should move to higher ground immediately.

Skagit County has ordered Mount Vernon and upriver communities of Hamilton, Rockport, Marblemount and Concrete to evacuate to high ground as soon as possible. Everyone in Skagit County living in the 100-year floodplain will likely receive an evacuation notice today. Check if your property is in the floodplain: skagitcounty.net/GIS/Documents/… Following evacuation orders and other guidance from local officials is critical.

It’s difficult to find words to express how our unit is feeling right now, but we’ll take a stab at it: shocked, disappointed, angry. @CascadePBSNews’ choice to eliminate long-form written reporting is a massive loss for our community in a critical moment. tinyurl.com/LayoffFund

We can’t produce fearless investigative journalism without job security and a fair contract. After almost two years of bargaining, we need your help. Show your support for @ProPublica’s workers by adding your name to our petition: actionnetwork.org/petitions/tell…

Our New York members took their lunch outside today to demand that @propublica management agree to a fair discipline and performance evaluation system ✊

We’re holding a lunch-out today to demand that @propublica management agree to a fair discipline and performance evaluation system. Just today, a member of our Bargaining Committee and Unit Council was fired as a result of ProPublica's flawed system.

For transparency: We created this fund using the settlement from a public records lawsuit we filed against the university years ago. This represents the full amount after attorney's fees and taxes, except for $2K used for a plaintiff's emergency expense, which we all approved.

The long-term fund is available to cover a range of costs for students working on investigative projects: records, legal, training, stipends, travel, equipment. You can make a gift to the Student Investigative Journalism Fund at foundation.wwu.edu/how-make-gift

Students @WWU have a great track record of pursuing accountability stories, even with limited resources. @JuliaFurukawa, Erasmus Baxter & I are excited to provide support through this endowment, and we'd love it if you joined us! (More below.) cascadiadaily.com/2025/jun/03/al…

1/ 🚨Yesterday, @ProPublica's management confirmed that it will again deny steward representation at disciplinary meetings. Our full statement 👇

We need your help to see the full picture of how the dismantling of the Education Department's Office for Civil Rights is affecting students, parents, school employees and their wider communities. Here's how to reach out. propublica.org/getinvolved/he…

Today, we issued a letter — signed by 70% of our unit — to @SteveEngelberg and @RobinSparkman91 asking them to uphold ProPublica’s values of fairness, transparency and accountability at the bargaining table.

Burien created an outright prohibition on living outside Monday and at least seven other jurisdictions in Washington created or expanded camping bans in 2024. st.news/3EfWUoj

And here's more information about how we did this reporting, including tips and lessons we learned from community experts. propublica.org/article/report…

People who experienced homeless encampment sweeps in Washington state and Tennessee wrote about the impact it had on their lives. Our team @propublica added these to our page featuring stories from people across the country: projects.propublica.org/impact-of-home…

12) You can also read our previous story to learn more about the items cities take in sweeps. It includes the stories of about two dozen people from across the country, some of whom wrote about the experience in their own words. projects.propublica.org/homeless-encam…

11) We heard from 30 people, including Stephenie, who tried to retrieve items but hit barriers. Dozens of others said they didn’t try because the process was inaccessible. When people's belongings are taken in sweeps, they rarely get them back. propublica.org/article/homele…

In June, a woman named Stephenie reached out to @propublica. An outreach worker told her we were reporting on cities conducting sweeps of homeless encampments, and she had a story to tell. 🧵
