Washingtonian is throwing a fancy party tonight to celebrate women in journalism. Yet many of the women who work for the magazine don’t make a livable income for DC! Tell @merrillwilliams it’s time to the pay floor! $42,500 is not enough to live and work in DC.

One more reason we need livable salaries. The $42,500 pay floor proposed by @merrillwilliams is ridiculously low!

Hey @merrillwilliams, 1995 called and wants its salaries back!
Washingtonian boss @merrillwilliams thinks $42,500 is a living wage IN THIS ECONOMY?!? Let’s raise the pay floor already!
Washingtonian wants you to see photos from its fancy journalism parties. It doesn’t want you to see how it underpays its own journalists.


Want to support local journalism? Tell Washingtonian CEO @merrillwilliams to pay her journalists a living wage. It takes two minutes to send her a letter: actionnetwork.org/letters/pay-wa…
The elite media parties are over. Now, can a local magazine staffer get a livable salary around here please?
Washingtonian: Let’s host a VIP journalism soirée at the Four Seasons with the government of Qatar! Also Washingtonian: $42,500 is an acceptable salary for our own employees.

Thanks Tony P for supporting @WashGuild and rocking a “Journalists Deserve Fair Wages” sticker!
While @washingtonian celebrated women in journalism at a fancy party tonight, the magazine’s staff was once again outside the event fighting for living wages!

Want to actually support local journalists over WHCD weekend? Send a letter to let Washingtonian know $42,500 is not a living wage in DC: actionnetwork.org/letters/pay-wa…
