A bolder antiwar movement is desperately needed at this moment to prevent the US-Israeli war in the Middle East from escalating further. We need to build something more enduring, localized, and concrete to bring the genocidal attacks on Lebanon and Iran to a halt.

The March 2026 newsletter from the YES! digital archives takes up the question: What can hold us together when capitalism, empire, and fascism are ruthlessly committed to tearing us apart?
There are so many fronts on which organizers are tirelessly working and where activists are constantly mobilizing. While multitasking between antiwar protests and rapid response, to divestment campaigns and survivor advocacy, it can feel like there is not enough time to even breathe.
Thousands of people have taken to streets to protest the killing of Renee Nicole Good by ICE agent Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis. The latest newsletter from YES! asks: How do we organize not only to resist this injustice, but also to sustain the work over the long haul?
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.
Relentless kidnapping of our undocumented neighbors by ICE. Steps toward regime change in Venezuela. An indefinite government shutdown.
The latest newsletter from YES! asks: Amid these authoritarian times, at what risk will we resist?

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. 🤭

Another progressive media outlet is closing its doors. :( I am grateful for the 5.5 years of solutions stories I got to publish at @yesmedia.bsky.social. I'm a talented editor, skilled and collaborative journalist, and I have great story sense. Please feel free to send leads or make intros!
Our greatest strength lies in collective action.

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.💔
I 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 ❤️🩹
We are so grateful for your support. Thank you ❤️🩹
Thank 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. 🥹 💔
