Don’t Worry Striking Writers, JVoices Is Right Behind You
Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
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.
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
