YES! Media to Sunset June 2025


With gratitude and hope, after nearly 30 years of uplifting voices and spotlighting solutions, YES! Media is shifting course. We are ceasing regular publication. Gratefully, under the umbrella of Truthout, our content archive will live on, along with a monthly YES! newsletter uplifting relevant pieces from our archives and new solutions journalism from other publications.

You can support these ongoing efforts here.

To read our full message about this transition, and special reflections from one of YES!’s founders, click here.

Subscribe to Rising Up With Sonali, the powerful show and newsletter hosted by Sonali Kolhatkar, previously YES!'s racial justice editor.
