After eight years, we have decided that it is time to shut down Shadowproof, but that does not mean that the independent journalism that we fostered is coming entirely to an end.

@shadowproofcom has been an invaluable partner since we started our work -- they invested fully in incarcerated writers when few publications would, never apologized for merging abolition with journalism, and have changed a difficult media industry for the better. Much love 🩷
