As we wrote in this morning's newsletter: The DCist team's coverage of the DMV is invaluable and essential to knowing this city, and we’re all better off for their work—especially as the local news landscape evaporates. We have especially relied on DCist to do what we do.
This morning, @wamu885 management informed us they are laying off 15 vital people from our organization. These individuals are the lifeblood of our journalism. Our hearts are broken. We can’t believe we are losing our colleagues and friends.

Farmworkers perform some of the most arduous jobs, often in extreme heat, with heavy equipment, large animals, and a high risk that they will be exposed to hazardous chemicals. And yet they are generally excluded from federal and state-level overtime pay. buff.ly/34BIsA8
