Tell the Washington Post to rehire Karen Attiah!

The Washington Post has fired columnist Karen Attiah, one of the paper’s most powerful and courageous writers, after she spoke out on social media about the killing of Charlie Kirk. Karen has been with the Post for 11 years, building a reputation for sharp analysis and a willingness to confront hard truths about race, politics, and power.

Now, she’s gone — leaving the Post without a single full-time Black opinion columnist.

This isn’t just about one journalist’s job. It’s about the right to speak truth to power without fear of retaliation. It’s about ensuring our leading newspapers reflect the full spectrum of voices and experiences in our country. And it’s about holding powerful institutions accountable when they silence those who challenge the status quo.

That’s why we’re calling on the Washington Post to reverse this decision and rehire Karen Attiah. Reinstating her would send a clear message that the Post values fairness, transparency, and the diversity of perspectives that make journalism stronger.

Add your name to demand justice for Karen Attiah and tell the Washington Post to do the right thing.

Together, we can make sure that voices like Karen’s are not silenced but amplified.

Thanks,
Mary
