The Post must now reverse course on violating the rights of their workers with illegal layoffs. CTO Vineet Khosla and Arc XP President Matt Monahan need to also be held accountable for their lack of courage and bad faith.

From the office to his own neighborhood, where on Thursday the Tech Guild posted fliers calling out his abysmal record as CEO and Publisher to demand accountability, we have been clear about the damage he caused.

The Washington Post cannot move forward under the leadership that caused this crisis. Will Lewis’s decisions drove the Post to this breaking point.

Will Lewis’s exit is long overdue. His legacy will be the attempted destruction of a great American journalism institution. But it's not too late to save The Post. Jeff Bezos must immediately rescind these layoffs or sell the paper to someone willing to invest in its future.

The public outcry has been clear: the people of D.C., the country and the world at large want the Washington Post at its full journalistic power and will accept nothing less.

Will Lewis brought the Washington Post to the brink of destruction. The company must rescind the layoffs immediately to rebuild trust with the workers who make The Post run. Our members should not be forced to pay for the failures of Will Lewis and Jeff Bezos, who put him in charge.

The Washington-Baltimore News Guild strongly condemns the layoffs announced today at The Washington Post. These cuts represent yet another blow to a newsroom that has already been pushed to its limits and a disservice to the readers who rely on The Post for rigorous, independent journalism.

Since 2023, 67 @coc-union.bsky.social members have been laid off from Color Of Change. Despite the NLRB’s decision ordering them to provide back pay and re-employ the Black workers they illegally laid off in 2022, COC has persistently ignored the law.

We again demand an immediate halt to all retaliatory firings, full compliance with outstanding reinstatement orders, and respect for union representation and due process. Anything less is a continued betrayal of the values the organization publicly espouses.
