So grateful for the sustaining support of OPB members every day, but especially days like today (see: Skanner closing; see also: Bezos gutting the Washington Post newsroom).
If you give to OPB during our drive, thank you and tell 'em @opbkmhdcreators.bsky.social sent ya.
*Call to Action*
OPB’s membership drive runs Feb 5th and ends Feb 14th. We will share more details on how you can support when the membership drive starts tomorrow!

When @opb.org ended Hush, even Harvard's Nieman Storyboard could see how short-sighted that was. After making four successful podcasts together, @ryanjhaas.bsky.social and I are committed to continuing our investigative work in the Northwest, and we're launching our own publication. More soon.
Unit member @cligori.bsky.social checked out the "ruff" competition in Oregon for the Westminster AKC Dog Show.
We are the people who tell the stories that connect our communities. #UnionStrong ✊🏼
Here are some highlights of the tentative agreement:
- No minimum salaries in contract lower than $65k, minimum salary increases for many positions
- KMHD hosts in particular get a nearly 30% increase retroactive to July ’25
- Guaranteed yearly increases of at least 3% for all 3 yrs of the contract
happy pride 💕
- Premium payments including fill-in pay, hazard pay, language differential & standby pay
- Protections around AI, safety, grievance processes and layoffs and severance
After 19 months of bargaining, we have not reached an agreement with OPB that includes livable wages and sufficient yearly guaranteed increases for the people who create the content you love.
Make your voice heard during OPB's membership Drive today, February 5 - February 14.
