The leafletting effort at tonight’s Colts game is postponed due to rain in the forecast the rest of the day. The next Colts home game is at 1 p.m. against the Chiefs on Sunday, October 9. We need volunteers for that game and are hoping for a big turnout. If you’d like to volunteer, please email us at indynewsguild70@gmail.com. Thanks and enjoy the rest of your Sunday.
Reminder to wear red tomorrow, links to ‘Save The Star’ TV coverage
- A reminder to all to wear red tomorrow to show our unity as a
newsroom. You can wear a red shirt, a red tie, red pants, red plaid, a
red dress, a red beret, a red scarf, a red suit. But whatever you
wear, wear red on Fridays. It’s a small thing. But small things add
up.
- WRTV-6 aired two reports during their evening newscasts tonight on
the Guild’s “Save The Star” campaign. They interviewed Guild President
Bobby King and Star subscribers. Visit our Facebook page at
http://www.facebook.com/indynewsguild to watch the videos.
- If you haven’t yet seen the video interview with former Star copy
editor Judy Wolf, it’s worth taking a few minutes to watch. We are
looking for more former Star staffers and community members who want
to share their stories of why local journalism matters. Let us know if
you have any ideas. Here’s a link to the video posted on our
SaveTheStar.com website:

Red Fridays
We want everyone to wear red on Fridays.
From now on.
As long as we’re negotiating a contract.
You can wear a red shirt, a red tie, red pants, red plaid, a red dress (McFeely has promised to do this), a red beret, a red scarf, a red suit. But whatever you wear, wear red on Fridays.
What does the red stand for? It says we’re angry. It says we’re mad as hell and we’re not going to take it anymore. Red stands out. In a drab world, it jumps up and gets noticed.
Why does wearing one color matter? It’s a small thing, yes. But it says to all of your peers in the Guild and — separately, to the publisher — that the Guild means business this year, that we’re unified and that we will be heard from.
Yes, it’s a small thing. But small things add up.
