As we head into the Christmas break, GONUJ want to thank everyone who has supported us, with donations, statements, letters, reposts, and of course joining us on our strike days. Your solidarity is so much appreciated.

We also wanted to update you all on where things stand.

We've come to the end of our second 48-hour strike. Thank you to everyone who joined us today. Another great day with homemade mince pies, Christmas carols and guests such as Emily Thornberry and Gary Younge.

You've all been amazing.

To quote the great Billy Bragg: "Solidarity forever!" ✊

“I’m dismayed by both the Guardian’s offloading of the Observer, and the way it is being conducted. It does not reflect the values the Guardian promotes, and that all those who have given so much of their lives to these papers hold dear. (1/2)

Thanks for your loudhailer-augmented support, Emily Thornberry MP! Great to see you here, and hear your concerns about the proposed Observer sale first hand.

Good morning.

So many readers came to support our strike yesterday. This is John Dickinson, a lifelong reader of The Guardian like his parents before him. (1/2)

"In full support of the Guardian/Observer journos striking for the future of The Observer, threatened by The Scott Trust's plan to sell to Tortoise Media. There's no logic behind the decision. The Observer risks becoming a stripped-down website"

Russell T Davies, screenwriter:

"In support of Observer & Guardian journalists on strike, all of them opposing the sale of the Observer to Tortoise. It doesn't have the resources to support such a vital voice, an island in the swelling oceans of right-wing media. Good luck!"

Good morning! Thanks so much for your messages of support.

David Morrissey, actor and film-maker, said:

“I have long considered The Observer to be The Guardian On Sunday. To separate the papers is bonkers and very worrying. Please support these journalists and this campaign.”

Rob Biddulph, illustrator and author (and drawer of the Observer Penguin):

“In a world where strong independent voices are harder and harder to find, let’s not let another be muffled. Save The Observer.”

“This cannot happen”

The wonderful Jemma Redgrave speaking at our picketline.

Of course it couldn’t be a protest against injustice without a #redgrave. 🧡

Thank you thank you thank you Jemma 🙏
