An independent journal of the radical imagination providing grassroots perspectives from the front-lines of the global struggle for real democracy (2011–2022).
After more than a decade of independent publishing, it is with a mixture of pride and sadness that we announce the end of ROAR as an active publication. 1/
We are deeply moved by the many messages of solidarity and support we have received over the past couple of days. ROAR was always a collective and collaborative project, and it means the world to us that you all felt so strongly connected to it too. La lucha continúa! ✊❤️🙏

This is extremely sad news and leaves a massive gap in radical publishing. ROAR published so many great articles about/from grassroots movements around the world. Their absence will be sorely felt 🙁
Sad news but forever grateful for the amazing work that @ROAR_Magazine has done for over a decade and the contribution it has made to future generations❤️.
The struggle goes on!
We were sad to see @ROAR_Magazine shut down yesterday, but also grateful for its powerful legacy.
Born out of the global Movements of the Squares in 2011, ROAR covered & gave a voice to those fighting for radical democracy around the world.

Meanwhile, we are working on a final redesign of our website, which we will keep online as a digital archive for years to come. We hope it will continue to serve as a useful resource for the movements from which it sprung. 5/
A humanitarian crisis has been playing out at #Poland’s border with #Belarus, exposing the #EU's two-faced refugee policy. Here, refugees are not met with cups of hot tea and free transport, but with volleys of tear gas, barbed wire and #pushbacks. https://t.co/fUgme56uK9
Anton de Kom, #Suriname's anti-colonial leader and people's historian was largely condemned to obscurity, until his life and writings were rediscovered during the 2020 #BlackLivesMatter uprisings. Now, his works are available in English for the first time. https://t.co/SwaHsq3FhI
