those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures
It was announced on October 16, 2025 that VIBE was "joining forces" with Rolling Stone. As a result, the majority of VIBE employees were laid off. If you have the means to give, this team could use the support! www.gofundme.com/f/support-vi...

Every single one of these particular and nuanced policies that made people's lives just a tiny bit more manageable were the result of sometimes decades of advocacy from every day people. Hours of testimonies, calls, pleas. And all are being wiped away en masse because the cruelty is the point.
