The US may be on a path toward war, but it’s crucial to remember that what we do next matters – the worst is only guaranteed if we do nothing. When we connect through solidarity, we make a world without war a possibility.

With @yesmedia.bsky.social closing this June, I’ve finally gone full throw-myself-to-the-wolves vibes and done the scariest thing a writer can do…
start a Substack. 🤭

Oh noooo, this is awful news! 💔
YES! Media's stories are exactly the kind we need more than ever right now.
It's just so painful that the very unjust systems they're working to dismantle have made it impossible for them to keep operating.
When I think about @yesmedia.bsky.social, I remember this piece they published in early 2020 about Reclaim the Block. It might’ve been the first not-local writing about our work. ❤️ www.yesmagazine.org/social-justi...

this is so sad. @yesmedia.bsky.social was the first magazine to take a bet on me — first as an intern and then as a staff editor. i learned so much there. sad to see its story end

I’ve read YES! for the past 25 years, and am grateful for its decades of powerful media-making, and its guiding light in the realm of solutions journalism. Such a sad loss.💔
07.05.2025 17:49 — 👍 54 🔁 23 💬 1 📌 1I published this piece for @theflytrapmedia.com in January. It is now May and YES! is sunsetting.
I will soon share more about the amazing team running this publication and how we can support them in their next chapters. But for now, I am in deep grief.
Indie media simply deserves better.
There’s so much to say and too little room, so I’ll let my LinkedIn post speak for itself.
Thank you to @freeblackgirl.bsky.social for opening the door for journalists like me and making way for solutions-accountability journalism. I am forever grateful.
Grateful for your support. We grieve together ❤️🩹

07.05.2025 13:45 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Thank you to all of our readers, viewers, and followers for your support over the years.
In the coming days, we'll share how you can support each of our staff members in their next adventures—because the industry needs them.
Stay tuned. And never forget that a better world is possible. 🥹 💔
This was not the outcome we hoped for—but it follows years of tireless efforts to find a sustainable path forward.
We are heartbroken but we are also incredibly proud. Proud of what we built. Proud of who we built it with. And proud of the impact that YES! has had on the world.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
After nearly 30 years of publishing independent, justice-centered journalism, YES! Media will sunset operations at the end of June 2025.

For 12 months, author and illustrator Nora Krug communicated with a Ukrainian journalist and a Russian artist. From their conversations, Krug created a weekly illustrated diary of their diverging experiences of Russia’s war on Ukraine.
