We're the largest union of journalists and media workers in North America. We've been holding power to account and defending democracy since 1933.

Yesterday’s rally at The Post drew a huge crowd to fight for journalism and to #SaveThePost.

These layoffs are shameful, and we are all worse off because of them. Still, we will continue to fight for journalism and for a free press.

Today's rally at The Post building was a powerful show of solidarity from fellow unions, community members, longtime Post readers, past and current Post journalists, international press, city council members, and everyone else who knows that we must #SaveThePost

Thank you for your solidarity. ✊

First, if you're in DC, come rally with Post workers outside of the Post building, TOMORROW!

🚨BREAKING: STRIKERS WIN!

The order affirms what we’ve said all along: The PG’s lawless union-busting cannot stand. We made sure it didn’t. We’re taking back what they stole from us. We won this strike.

2/ CW: Watch the full assault on a New York reporter here:
September 30, 2025 at 8:07 PM
Imagine one company deciding what shows up on your TV.

Nexstar pulled Jimmy Kimmel to appease the FCC — because they want a merger that would allow them to control what 8 out of 10 Americans see.

That’s monopoly power, not free speech.

Ryanne was shot in the head for doing her job as a journalist.

When gov targets the press, it’s not just an attack on reporters—it’s a violation of the First Amendment and the public’s right to know.

We’re proud to join @aclusocal.bsky.social & @lapressclub.bsky.social to demand accountability.
