1/ I first heard the name Jason Crews in 2024. A bill to add outside oversight to the juvenile justice system failed. A lawmaker said Crews’ lobbying was a factor. “I can’t think of a reason for not wanting oversight unless there’s something to hide,” an advocate said. 🧵
“It’s really important for ProPublica that we have reporters who aren’t just parachuting in … but who actually live in the communities,” says reporter Jennifer Smith Richards. “The problem is that … we’re not paid the same.” Help ProPublica’s workers fight for fair pay: www.propublicaguild.org
ProPublica Guild@propublicaguild.org · 4mo agoProPublica events manager Rocio Ortega has taken on Uber Eats and DoorDash deliveries to make ends meet. This shouldn’t be any of our workers’ financial reality. We need a contract that guarantees all our members fair pay: www.propublicaguild.org
A word on needing AI guardrails in our contract. We know it's important to our readers; let's get this language in there!

“I have heard from our managers at ProPublica that they don’t intend to replace us with AI. And that’s great. But we’re gonna need that in writing.” This is why we’re fighting for protections against artificial intelligence:
Meet my wonderful @propublicaguild.org colleagues <3
ProPublica Guild@propublicaguild.org · 4mo agoIt’s been three years since we formed our union. We still don’t have a contract. Over the next few weeks, you’ll be hearing from us — the workers of @propublica.org — on why this contract is so important and the issues about which we care deeply.
We asked @propublica.org's board to agree to a fair contract. Chair Paul Sagan replied that they support management, whose last offer includes weak job security, minimal guardrails on AI & wages that don’t keep up w/ rising costs. We know you stand with us. Tell Mr. Sagan: shorturl.at/MkUbQ

1/ Happy International Workers' Day to all our fellow workers and unions! ✊ ICYMI, our bargaining unit exercised our collective power to walk out on a one-day strike last month, as we fight for a fair contract.
NEW: Kentucky’s largest drug rehab center touts a Christian message and a selfless commitment to helping others. But internally, the organization prioritized money over the well-being of its clients and staff, interviews show. W/ @kentucky.com www.propublica.org/article/kent...
Today, you helped us show @propublica.org management that, without us, there is no ProPublica. And we’re not stopping this fight until we get the contract we deserve. Donate to our strike fund: www.gofundme.com/f/support-pr...
I love my job. I believe in ProPublica's mission. I have so much work to do today on a story that should publish soon. But today, I'm on strike with my colleagues at the @propublicaguild.org. Hoping we get over the finish line SOON on our very first contract -- and a fair one.
Today, I and the rest of the @propublicaguild.org are on strike. Why? Because we deserve a fair contract - one that locks in just cause, AI protections, and fair wages for all union members.
I love working at @propublica.org. I'm on strike for the day because I want it to be a better place to work, for everyone. Please support our fight for a fair contract.

EMTALA requires universal care for “emergency medical conditions” regardless of a person’s insurance status. In the decades since its passage, some patients have died hours after failing to receive care they were legally entitled to. By @emcahan.bsky.social

Discharging patients who are at risk of harming themselves or others is illegal. But dozens of psychiatric hospitals aren’t honoring the law — and the government isn’t following up.
