Ground Game put out an apology to Lisa Kwon less than 2 months ago that included a 'commitment to safeguarding and empowering our journalists' and how that situation was a 'wake-up call', but have now locked out prominent members of Knock LA from social media and admin accounts

Cerise Castle is a critically important journalist

And Knock LA has done extraordinary work for years

Despite Ground Game LA demanding free labor, disregarding journalistic ethics, bouncing checks, and being racist…

President of MediaGuildWest. The journalism world sees what you are doing and condemns it Ground Game LA

As someone who has written over 50 articles for Knock-LA, I stand with Cerise Castle, camacho, and the other journalists at Knock LA.

Ground Game LA do the right thing!

Cerise Castle Knock LA Ground Game LA What chaps my ass most about this is WHO is doing the busting. Ground Game LA isn't some hedge fund. They're a supposed 'left' org espousing principles of solidarity and uplift.

Instead they're acting like the corporate overlords destroying journalism across the country.
