I've seen nothing that says they are on strike, only that they have authorized it, and that their current request is to _continue supporting ProPublica_. Is there an update somewhere on their social media profile that I haven't seen yet?

"You can support us by continuing to support ProPublica and by telling our management that you demand a ProWorker ProPublica!"

This was their update from about an hour ago: https://union.place/@propublicaguild/116262299949950667

This is from their linked gofundme: "We are the unionized workers at ProPublica, and we’re **ready to strike** for a fair contract."

Emphasis added.

Is there an update I'm not seeing?

That is the same information I already provided. They have voted to authorize a strike. That doesn't mean they are _on_ strike.

First line of the linked article:

"Unionized staff at one of the nation’s largest nonprofit newsrooms, ProPublica, have voted overwhelmingly to **authorize** a strike."

An authorization doesn't mean they are on strike yet.
