McClatchy claims readers don’t want coverage like this — the kind investigates local businesses and protects local workers. Prove them wrong by filling out a quick form to write directly to McClatchy management 👇 actionnetwork.org/letters/as…

We know your community — because it's ours too. Because of a decision made by corporate executives, there will soon be no one to tell you what's going on with education, transportation & so much more. And our journalists will soon be out of work. Here's how you can help them:

Donate to support laid-off workers. A hedge fund gutted our newsroom last week, laying off more than half of the union staff that brought you important local news. Help these workers get back on their feet by donating or sharing our GoFundMe. Link below ⤵️ Anything helps.

10 Idaho Statesman reporters — more than half the staff — were laid off Thursday by McClatchy, our hedge-fund-backed owner. Sadly, many don’t have large savings. Please consider donating to help cover their bills. Any amount helps! bit.ly/4cGQk8X

Bad-faith bargaining is bad for business. After we went on strike, a major advertiser halted ad buys in solidarity. We are asking others to do the same until McClatchy Media comes to the table with a fair offer.

We have overwhelmingly voted to go on STRIKE as we fight for a fair contract with McClatchy Media and its five Pacific Northwest newspapers. Our demands are simple: Protections against AI and wages that keep up with inflation.
