Support NJ, NY & Reviewed journalists on strike!

For the last four years, Gannett has abandoned its commitment to the community. Hundreds of jobs have been lost and countless stories have been left untold. Many newspapers are still printing with only one or two reporters. Some don't have a single journalist on staff.

Since 2019, this strategy has been orchestrated by Gannett CEO Mike Reed. And it's long since time he was kicked to the curb.

On June 5, unionized journalists from 14 news organizations in the Northeast are walking off the job in protest of Reed's woeful mismanagement. We're joined by Gannett colleagues across the country in our protest and calling on shareholders to do what should have been done a long time ago: Cast a vote of no confidence in Mike Reed and get him as far away from our community news organizations as possible.

We're not taking this action lightly. We're already working two or three jobs just to make ends meet. We're relying on family assistance to pay the bills. We're applying for subsidized housing and food stamps and using the same social safety nets that we report on as part of our job.

Missing a day's pay affects us tremendously, but we're willing to do whatever it takes —even putting our livelihoods on the line — to get rid of Mike Reed and push this company to reinvest in its newsrooms.

We're organizing this fundraiser ourselves so we can reimburse as many striking journalists as possible from:
