Don’t Worry Striking Writers, JVoices Is Right Behind You
In a development that could help tip the scales in the ongoing writers’ strike, an obscure Jewish blog has weighed in on the side of the scribes — and done so forcefully.
The blog, JVoices, is following the lead of a number of TV-related blogs that suspended publication for a day in solidarity with the striking writers. But, JVoices notes, they’re taking things one step further.
“JVoices is shutting down in solidarity with the Writers Guild of America strike,” writes JVoices mastermind Cole Krawitz. “Not for just one day though. We’re shutting down until victory is won for WGA workers!”
I hope the writers at JVoices enjoy their vacation. I expect it to be a short one, as their brave action will undoubtedly bring the producers swiftly to their knees.
The Forward is free to read, but it isn’t free to produce
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a Passover gift today!
— Rachel Fishman Feddersen, Publisher and CEO
