‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️

As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike.

WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

Kickstarter United is on strike!
We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform

Why We're Striking
A codified 4-day work week.
We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work.
Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers.
We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.

do you ever watch the feet of animated characters to see how well they’re tracking with the scrolling background and realize that maybe you’ve been overthinking things on your own project?

It’s been two days, and I’m still at a loss for words. I spent the last six months stressing over where I’d find the money to keep paying our team of artists, and I don’t know if its fully hit me yet that I can let that stress go.

Photo of the corner of a room, with a large pink/purple/teal mural of the Sirenetta character on the right, and a 90s style wave pattern on the left. There are two shelves on the left wall with dolls of Jem, Mew Lettuce, Sailor Mercury, Ariel, Ariel’s friend Kayla, Sirenetta, and Harmonix Bloom. Beneath the shelves are a plush doll of Sirenetta and a metal print of a Sirenetta action figure illustration. Above the shelves is a piece of detailed Sirenetta fanart.

“Thank you” doesn’t feel big enough but it’s all I have right now, so THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone who donated and made our Kickstarter successful - the whole team is so excited to dive back into work on “Sirenetta: Part-Time Mermaid” 🩵

Now the movie making can begin again, which of course comes with its own stress and anxieties, but today I can take a big sigh of relief.
