🫂"For almost 14 years , Equal Times was an invaluable resource on the realities of work, society, fundamental rights, and more. The archive will remain online, but as of December 2025 no new content will be added." equaltimes.org/as-equal-time…

I just found about this. Equal Times was an excellent outlet covering labor, human rights and environmental issues from around the world and publishing in English, Spanish and French. I wrote a couple articles for them that probably would not have been published elsewhere. Very sad to to hear about their demise, but it is not surprising as journalism--especially of the independent variety--is becoming harder to do with each passing day. In any case, thanks to the Equal Times crew and particularly @tammyscribbler for their excellent work over the years. In solidarity ✊

It is a shame we are losing some strong reporting that hilighted the importance of worker solidarity globally, among others.
