We support the call of the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate to boycott tomorrow’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner. More than 100 journalists and media workers have been killed in the past six months of Israel’s war on Gaza, backed by the United States government. As PJS writes, “By standing in solidarity with Palestinian journalists, we uphold the principles of press freedom and human rights that are fundamental to our profession.” As a union of journalists and media workers who strive for truth, we refuse to normalize genocide. Stand with journalists in Gaza and amplify the call for a boycott.
