Editor’s Note: The Death Issue

When I learned that my first issue as editorial director of YES! would be on death, I cringed a bit. No one likes to think about death, much less talk about it. In fact, death might be more taboo to discuss than even sex or money. A recent survey found that only about a third of people had discussed making wills with their partners, or their wishes concerning their funerals. It’s almost as though we believe that dying doesn’t actually happen. At least not to us.

YES! Media to Sunset June 2025

After nearly 30 years of independent journalism rooted in justice, imagination, and solutions, YES! Media will sunset operations at the end of June 2025. This decision follows years of tireless efforts to secure a sustainable path forward. We are heartbroken but we are also incredibly proud. Proud of what we built. Proud of who we built it with. And proud of the impact that YES! has had on the world.
