Hi y’all! 👋🏽 Before I left on my roadtrip, Sharon Hurley Hall and host, Sam Chavez, hopped on a Live! to dig into the harms of Substack for creators and movement leaders who work for liberatory change.

After Substack platformed & monetized Nazi's in 2022, we both signed on to an open letter of fellow creators & journalists and left. The companies stance on privacy, progressive values, & creator independence has only gotten worse. Get a preview of our exclusive hours-long conversation for our members, we spoke about:

- The Harm of Substack and the Need for Alternatives
- The Challenges of Big Tech’s Platform Dominance
- Our Experience Building on Secure Platforms
- The Importance of Transparency in Platform Choices
- Building a Personal Brand Beyond Platforms
- The Power of Email and Community Engagement
- Addressing Harm in Digital Spaces

- Resources & Tips for Independent Publishing
