Meanwhile in Philly 🥲 ☀️

Some wept quiet tears. Others raised their fists in solidarity. All of them came to honor George Floyd on the one-year anniversary of his murder by Minneapolis police, to keep alive the fight for racial justice his death sparked last May. bit.ly/3vrRZYc

We’re fighting because everyday I meet someone on a shoot who loves the work we do, we have no fair weather fans. #WemakeWHYY

I’m just catching up on how WHYY Union bargaining went today, because I’ve been in the field with my amazing reporters since before 9 this morning. The work we do matters and WE make it happen! #wemakeWHYY

as a Philadelphian to have a platform on @nprFreshAir with Terry Gross is a major dream for me. as an avid listener and supporter of public radio I also add my support for @whyyunion and their work to get a fair contract so we get these educational/informative programs!

🚨 WHYY UNION SUPPORTERS! Please join us for an in-person rally outside @WHYY this Thursday 7/29! Fresh Air's Dave Davies will MC the event, which kicks off at noon. We're fighting for a fair and equitable contract — and we can’t do it without you! #WeMakeWHYY

We are overwhelmed with gratitude! 🙏 We can’t thank you all enough for your support — both in person + online — as we fight for a stronger, more equitable WHYY FAIR CONTRACT NOW! #WeMakeWHYY

After weeks of progress, we have again hit a wall. @WHYY mgmt has offered a contract that includes less parental leave than many comparable employers + enshrines a system where some staffers earn less than their peers doing similar work. We cannot accept this. 🧵

Make that 20. Our “sad for us but happy for you” tweets announcing staff departures are sadly becoming routine. WHYY can help stem this near-constant turnover by committing to pay equity. How many talented employees are we willing to lose?

WHYY Please take a moment to send the following message to @WHYY CEO Bill Marrazzo + the WHYY board to show them you stand with us in our fight for fair + equitable wages. Email draft copy → bit.ly/3tjgTsI

An easy way to show solidarity w/ the folks who bring you WHYY, Billy Penn, PlanPhilly, Fresh Air + more #WeMakeWHYY

It's easy to support WHYY staffers' fight for a fair contract! Consider signing and sending this letter to our CEO and board.

🚨 WHYY Union supporters! We are happy to report we’ve reached a tentative agreement with WHYY mgmt that we’re excited about. Soon, we’ll be holding a vote on whether to ratify our 1st contract.

Unbelievably grateful, with tears, to our incredible stewards and to SAG-AFTRA who fought so hard for 2 years to change my life, and especially to all of our listeners and viewers who supported the campaign and know #wemakeWHYY !
