The working conditions of freelancers are intrinsically bound up with those of staffers. We won’t let bosses use our labor to break the resolve of striking workers, or use scarcity as a wedge.

The center that says NWU STANDS WITH above the Vox Media Union logo in the center, alongside an illustrated white solidarity fist. Stamped on top of the image in black is the phrase PREPARED TO STRIKE.

A leafy rainbow bouquet, and three architecturally different variations on the exact same radicchio plant
A white hand in a blue rain jacket sleeve holds vibrant a bouquet of rainbow chard, orange and white and yellow and pale pink and neon mauve, with early strawberries in a sprawling patch in the background A marbled green and burgundy radicchio plant, shaped like a cute little cone A marbled green and burgundy radicchio plant, shaped like a bowl holding a dark secret A marbled mostly green and some burgundy radicchio plant, shaped like a tall skinny tower wearing an upside down tiered ruffled gown

The fact that *the WGA fight is our fight* is clearer & clearer by the (strike) day.

All of us are working in a media industry devastated by a never-ending drive towards profit; holding water for the studios in our critical coverage isn't just silly, but bad journalism.
Screenshot of pledge page intro copy, white font with bright yellow links on a deep purple background: "When the Writers Guild of America published their official strike announcement, they made the existential nature of their fight clear: “The companies' behavior has created a gig economy inside a union workforce,” they told their members, “and their immovable stance in this negotiation has betrayed a commitment to further devaluing the profession of writing. […T]hey have closed the door on their labor force and opened the door to writing as an entirely freelance profession.” As writers working in a media industry already devastated by the corporate class’s never-ending drive towards maximizing profit—too many of us driven into freelance work by layoffs and the disappearance of stable staff jobs—the WGA’s nightmare is increasingly our reality."

Shot of the Soggy Bottom Boys in the film O Brother, Where Art Thou? from right after they start singing “I Am a mean of Constant Sorrow” while wearing their long beard disguises and discover they’ve become huge radio stars.

Maylee and Boson are new to our family this year, but they sure don’t act like it.
A white dog with ginger freckles on her body, Oreo freckles under her chin, and a black and fawn bandit mask on her face lies sprawled on her back on a brown wooden deck, facing the camera upside down with her forepaws in the air A corgi-sized black, brown and tan dog (a Swedish Vallhund) lies on tan carpeting, tucked cozily into the corner of a home office, one from paw curled up and the tip of his tongue poking out as he looks at the camera A white dog with ginger freckles on her body, Oreo freckles under her chin, and a black and fawn bandit mask on her face sits panting in the back seat of a car after a long walk in the woods, wearing a purple neoprene harness and a glowing rainbow LED safety collar, her gigantic tongue lolling out the left side of her mouth A white dog with ginger freckles on her body and a black and fawn bandit mask on her face is curled into a tight ball in the back right corner of a brown canvas dog crate, tucked alongside a corgi-sized brown, back and tan dog lying in the crate next to her, his muzzle poked out just far enough to rest on the wood floor
