I say this because the cognitive dissonance astounds me: If you’re saying you denounce what happened to @cerisecastle and me, but you also perpetuate a harmful workplace environment for POC/womxn/queer people, then know that we notice.

Lastly, and most importantly, there are people liking, retweeting, and reaching out to me in support of what I’ve done who I also know firsthand - and through other people - have hurt/oppressed other POCs in the workplace.

“While supply is still extremely limited, we need to prepare now for a time in the near future when supply increases and hopefully dramatically,” said Yolanda Richardson, Secretary of the Government Operations Agency and the state’s lead on vaccine operations.

The WNBA has announced the sale of the Atlanta Dream to a new ownership group that will include former Dream player Renee Montgomery, who opted out last season to focus on social justice matters. Former Ga. Senator Kelly Loeffler is no longer an owner in the WNBA

Worth noting that Carranza faced a fair amount of racism over his Mexican-American heritage from his critics. Seems like that's continuing even to his last dayhttps://twitter.com/eric_ulrich/status/1365339864401645569 …

also, you'll note that there isn't a preponderance of black journos coming out to talk about their experiences working at @kcrw. that may be bc @jeromercampbell and @cerisecastle were it when they left late last year. i'm an employee, but i haven't been there since august. 10/11

we, within the leadership of @nabjlaofficial, have been working on the current situation unfolding between @cerisecastle & @kcrw for days. cerise’s accounts here on Twitter and on @thelapod are representative of racism at kcrw and more broadly at most media organizations. 1\11

I’ve been slow to jump in on this conversation because I don’t relish an opportunity to talk about the embarrassing and humiliating things that have happened in the workplace, but it’s out in the open now so let me say my piece. 1/?https://twitter.com/kcrw/status/1364315916985507840 …

Many of our fellow journalists working in MNG newsrooms across the country have already organized in this way. We at SCNG want to be recognized along with them. We are asking MNG and Alden to recognize our union and to work with us to protect local journalism. 8/9

Our journalists have labored for years under increasingly difficult conditions. We intend to reverse that trend. We believe that only a union — formed with the @MediaGuildWest, a local of @newsguild, can ensure we get the fair pay and benefits we deserve. 7/9

These cuts leave us less able to provide the quality product we owe our readers. We want to stave off further losses while allowing our newspapers to thrive. We want to build newsrooms with diverse voices reflecting the communities we cover. 6/9

Media News Group and Alden Global Capital have cut our newsrooms to the bone. Layoffs and turnover have devastated our workforce. We face historic staffing shortages, and the exodus of journalists with decades of experience has hollowed out our newspapers. 5/9
