Solidarity with Washington Post Journalists
The IWW Freelance Journalists Union condemns the abrupt and unwarranted layoffs of hundreds of Washington Post journalists, including those actively reporting from warzones. The Washington Post Guild has organized a support campaign for their affected members and international staff at the Washington Post have also organized a separate campaign in support of international journalists caught up in the layoffs who aren’t protected by the Guild.
The FJU has contributed $500 to the support fund and encourages its members to support both of these campaigns. We must stand in solidarity with our fellow journalists against unfair practices and support our colleagues in their time of need.
