As recent waves of layoffs impact our fellow workers and union members, we see again and again how little the word of your boss means when it is not backed up by a union contract or challenged with collective action.

Help create the future of the games industry! On 8/20, workers will be coming together to draft a Game Workers' Bill of Rights. All game workers are welcome — union members or not. Sign up here: uvw-cwa.org/townhall-reg...

Prints are up in the shop! I’ve got a few more cons this season but I’ll put up the remainder after those.

We’re Done Playing Video game workers strike back. Over the last few years, game workers have been struck by unprecedented mass layoffs, driven by corporate greed and short-term profit seeking. While employers treat us...

If you're mad about these layoffs (and every other layoff that's happened over the last few years in this trashfire of an industry) please sign & share this petition. Channel that rage into action. It's just a small 1st step, but it's an important one.

This past weekend, as hundreds of game workers flew into LA to attend Summer Game Fest, Immigration and Customs Enforcement terrorized the Los Angeles community, raiding neighborhoods, separating families, assaulting citizens, and detaining SEIU President David Huerta. Many of us in the game industry call Los Angeles our home, and we feel these attacks on a deep and personal level. United Videogame Workers-CWA stands in solidarity with SEIU, UNITE HERE, United Farm Workers, SAG-AFTRA, The Animation Guild, IATSE, and all our fellow unions and organizations condemning these ongoing federal raids targeting workers. We are thrilled that David has been released and echo SEIU’s calls to drop his unjust charges and for ICE to immediately end their violent raids against us and our neighbors. The United States is built on the backs of immigrant workers, documented or otherwise, and the Trump administration’s racist and violent oppression serves only to undermine our labor and strike fear in our communities. As workers of an anti-racist union; as workers with H-1B visas; as workers with immigrant families and friends and colleagues; we condemn these abhorrent acts of outright fascism and colonial subjugation. Our game industry is a deeply international one, and our art is built from cultures and perspectives that simply cannot and will not be contained by borders. UVW-CWA exists to protect all game workers across the US and Canada, regardless of immigration status, and we strive to extend that reach to all corners of the globe through connections and shared struggle. When solidarity transcends nations, no human is illegal!

We need to pay $2314.47 in back rent by the 4th. We still have our ko-fi goal which is now at 90%! We started this in January and it's been helping us to pay rent and 20% of this has also gone to help pay off a loan we took to help with my medical care last year.

A lot of things suck in this lifetime, but I remember when the thought of this was incomprehensible. This is beautiful.

use alt text in your images!!! it's important for accessibility AND it also makes them more searchable! I am currently looking for a piece of art I saw earlier but didn't save, so i typed in some keywords that would have likely been in the alt txt from what i can remember about the piece. use it!!!!
