Our commitment to our readers

Last year, our team covered historic, progressive Canadian news. This includes the strike of CUPE Ontario’s education support workers, action to combat climate change, the ongoing path towards Truth and Reconciliation, and so much more. In 2023, we will continue to share the news and views missing from mainstream media and amplify the voices and messages that are needed to build a better future.

Lastly, we have to acknowledge: all of our work would not be possible without the support of our readers, donors, and partners. Thank you for your continued support.

Celebrate with us! If you’d like to support rabble and toast to our COPA win, consider making a donation at rabble.ca/donate. Thanks in advance; every little bit counts!
