My alternative home for over 16 years, @globalvoices.org, is running a donation drive in the face of a difficult funding environment. You all know why: the obliteration of foreign aid. They need your help. GV is a precious resource in today's media ecosystem: community powered, local expression.
🗣️Today we're launching a campaign to raise $250,000 to keep Global Voices alive and thriving.
👉🏿We’re ad-free, paywall-free, and community-powered — but funding cuts and a tough media landscape are putting us at risk.

Support Global Voices as we launch our donation campaign
Sharp cuts to foreign aid by a number of governments are shrinking the available funds for nonprofits, with digital rights organizations like ours taking a particular hit.

We don't want to lose the art and practice of translation because no one is willing to pay for it. We want to keep offering our articles in as many languages as we can, and we want to be able to give our translators more -trainings, stipends, support. Help us do that: globalvoices.org/donate/

A powerful edition of the @globalvoices.org "Where Are You REALLY From?" podcast. Daria Dergacheva talks with @akwe.bsky.social about struggles with national identity: "for a while, it was just impossible to say you were from Russia [...] I was scared, and I was ashamed, and I didn't want to do it."
Podcast: Daria on carrying a Russian identity and setting her children free of it
