Join Writers Guild Pickets, Support the Strike!

Our union siblings in the writers guild are on strike. One of the central issues is the fight against use of AI to replace writers -- an issue of fundamental interest and importance for tech workers as well.

They have active picket lines every day all over the city, successfully stopping production of shows. Sometimes, when you join, you might find yourself walking side by side with a well-known actor. Come for the stars, stay for the solidarity! (Just kidding, come for the solidarity too!)

Active picket locations are announced on their twitter (https://twitter.com/WGAEast) and you can sign up for pickets using airtable: https://airtable.com/shr86fQEfrBFsQPbB

Organizing Calls

Alternate Tuesdays, 6:30pm
Next: Tuesday, April 25
Location: Zoom

We're restructuring our organizing calls to be less planning and more a place to just check in with fellow TWCers, catch up, and shoot the breeze about our ongoing organizing efforts and workplace conditions. To get in touch and start attending, sign up for the slack and check in on the #local-nyc channel (details below).

The TWC Code of Conduct is in effect for all TWC NYC meetings.

New to TWC? Nervous about attending your first meeting? Read our onboarding doc!

If you have any questions or requests regarding accessibility or childcare, or for any other reason, please reach out to us (via this email) and we will do our best to address them!
