rabble is proud to announce that we have taken home the silver in the Canadian Online Publishing Awards (COPAs) for Best News Website in the online media category.

We are also honoured and proud to say our columnist Natasha Darling received a nomination for her column under the Best Column category.

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.
