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.

To our amazing network of journalists, photographers, translators and experts. To the @ituc for 14 years of support and all our other funders. To all of the people who trusted us with their stories. And to you, dear reader: we say a heartfelt thank you!
