Happy to see so many people support our local journalist. I received an interview request for the D&C from a reporter from Pennsylvania🥴. i declined the request because I stand with those on strike but also because local journalist matter, they

Seven days into our strike for fair pay and working conditions, we’re OVERWHELMED by the love from our community.
