I am saddened to learn that #YES! Media is closing operations next month, ending 30 years of inspiring people to build a more just, #sustainable, and #compassionate world with "rigorous reporting on the positive ways communities are responding to social problems and insightful commentary that sparks constructive discourse". They will be missed.
