A community celebration: What—and who—Helped us get through this year

We’re going to close down 2020 with some time to party, reflect, relax, and catch up with each other. Join us for a day of activities and celebration of YOU, the people who lead and sustain this work of transforming journalism. Find out more about SRCCON:❤️ and grab your ticket, which is free for OpenNews sustainers.

How we’re supporting each other

In this unexpected year, we’re finding ways to take care of one another while continuing to push for change. We’re always working on new projects and events to help support this community. Go to our COVID-19 Community Care Package.

What We Believe

When a community of peers listens to each other and learns together, we build a more equitable future for journalism. By creating space for conversations at SRCCON events, helping journalists share their work at Source, and connecting community members through a wide range of support programs, we make it easier for people to collaborate across organizations. Learn more about what we do or find out how you can get involved.
