Thank you to the Idaho AFL-CIO for standing with us. Find out how to support local news workers 👇

Local journalism matters. Good union jobs matter.

The Idaho AFL-CIO stands in solidarity with the journalists of the Idaho Statesman as they fight back against devastating layoffs that have eliminated 60% of their newsroom.

These cuts don't just hurt workers and their families. They hurt our communities by reducing access to the local news and accountability journalism Idahoans depend on.

The journalists of the Idaho Statesman are standing together, and we're proud to stand with them.

Here's how you can show your support:

✉️ Join the letter-writing campaign urging McClatchy executives to reconsider these cuts.

❤️ Contribute to the GoFundMe supporting laid-off journalists and their families.

Strong communities need strong local journalism. And strong journalism needs good union jobs.
