Please consider donating to our strike fund if you are able. It will ensure HLNG members are equipped with the means to fight unfair labor practices — even if it means losing out on company pay to do so.

When our management suspended Monroe Trombly this week, they violated a fair labor practice called “status quo.”

This strike fund will help us prepare to take further action, if necessary, to support our members.

If you can, please consider donating:

Montgomery County officials urging some residents to evacuate: houstonlanding.org/evacuations-ur…

I'm so thrilled Miranda *landed* here, where she has made such an incredible impact on those she covers (her Katy ISD scoops are so important and second to none), as well as those she works with.

Here's to a tireless soul, skilled at leaving things better than she found them.

.angelica perez is an incredible journalist and an even better friend <3

here’s to another year of spending every moment of our 9-5 and 5-9 together 🥰🥰😘😘

I moved to HTown 1 year ago today.
I can’t believe how much I’ve fallen in love with this city.
I’ve made friends I know I’ll treasure for the rest of my life. I’ve built relationships with countless Houstonians who have trusted me to tell their stories.
What else is there? ❤️

So proud of my colleagues lomikriel Zach Despart Lexi Churchill, who received the Collier Prize for State Government Accountability tonight on behalf of Texas Tribune ProPublica FRONTLINE. Honored that they had the chance to meet President Biden.
