We are very sorry to announce that Filter is shutting down this week, after eight years of publishing.

It's a sad moment for those of us who have cared about the publication, writes EIC @godfreywill. But we have so much to be grateful for:

Filter has also covered harm reduction in less traditional contexts, like prison violence, eating disorders, environmental justice and synthetic cannabinoids, as well as how harm reduction works in communities where it’s not typically discussed: https://t.co/4Ngtx4nO1u

Filter has reached sources before and after deportation, and reported from closed spaces like shelters and methadone clinics. We’ve also published extensively on the sex offender registry, a critical harm reduction issue the movement has often overlooked: https://t.co/gKJHYiLZvO
