We’re so happy that our fellow book nerds over in NE DC are Officially Unionized! Massive Congratulations from all of us over here!

Last night I attended the Politics and Prose event for author Hamilton Nolan as he discussed his new book THE HAMMER with the AFA-CWA President Sara Nelson! Great discussion made even better in that it was held in the first bookstore in DC to unionize with Politics & Prose Workers Union! #1u

This morning, WAMU 88.5 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.

If you believe in the power of local journalism to hold the government accountable, to bring levity to your day, or to tell you something new about the region you love, please consider emailing [email protected] to save DCist. We rely on readers and listeners like you.

It is imperative that Sylvia M. Burwell, Seth Grossman, Erika Pulley-Hayes, and Michael Tribble #UnlockDCist. It’s a matter of democracy. See our letter below. We encourage you to share:

BREAKING: The staff of Shelf Life Books have officially unionized with UFCW Local 400! This makes them the first booksellers in Richmond to form a union! Congratulations! ufcw400.org/2024/03/19/she…

It's great stories like these that only provoke more questions about what exactly WAMU 88.5's leaders were thinking when they laid off 16 people, including environment reporter Jacob Fenston. Just a mind-bogglingly bad decision.

38 Politics and Prose employees, union and non-union, signed a letter addressing the artists whose works were removed from the cafe's Arab American Heritage Month display. These individuals speak on their own behalf, not on behalf of the P&P staff, nor the union as a whole.
