I’ve already watched two close colleagues lose their jobs Houston Landing & I’m terrified there will be more.

I’m grateful we have Houston Landing NewsGuild to protect us. Consider donating to support us if we are forced to take further action.

I stand with Monroe Trombly and the rest of the Houston Landing NewsGuild newsroom. He’s part of some of the most standup people I’ve ever worked with.

Please consider donating to the Houston Landing NewsGuild’s new strike fund.

Every donation will help us better respond to our company’s recent violation of fair labor practices.

I believe so much in what Houston Landing can be, and recent actions by company leaders won’t shake that.

Our newsroom has been in the process of rebuilding trust after two of our colleagues were unexpectedly fired in January. This suspension has come as a shock to us. Monroe Trombly has been a supportive colleague and stellar reporter and I look forward to having him back soon
