Support Needed for SAPIENS Magazine and its Staff Union! We, SAPIENS staff, write to our supporters with an urgent request for support. We were informed this week that our funder, the Wenner-Gren Foundation, may choose to close SAPIENS Anthropology Magazine...

The @wennergrenorg.bsky.social may be shuttering @sapiens.org. Please consider submitting a letter in support of Sapiens. We need public-facing publications like this now more than ever.
