Support Gannett journalists walking out

Gannett journalists are staging a walkout in response to the company's refusal to provide a living wage to many of its employees and its continued decimation of newsrooms.

We are going to bat for the communities we serve, journalism we believe in and equity, inclusion and opportunity in our newsrooms and coverage. And we are fighting to rise above poverty wages and working conditions that inhibit these efforts. 

Gannett has shown time and time again it will throw up hurdles, drag its feet at the bargaining table and put shareholders ahead of its journalists and the communities we serve.

We aim to remind Gannett where the value in its company lies - its workers.

Journalists are taking a stand. For many of us, this comes at great personal cost. Going without a day's pay can be the difference between keeping the lights on or feeding their families for some of our lowest-paid and most vulnerable members. 

But we're standing up anyway.

And so we ask for your help in standing behind them. Funds raised will go directly to the journalists who cannot afford to miss a day’s pay.
