The trial of Maysoon Majidi

Welcome to the il manifesto global newsletter, an essential weekly briefing of progressive news delivered to you each week.

Introducing a new manifesto global

If you've been following il manifesto global for a while, you may have noticed some big changes to our website in recent months. The redesigned site is faster and easier to navigate, following similar upgrades to the main il manifesto website. We're excited to bring these improvements to our English-language readers around the world. 

Our weekly email newsletter is also getting an update. In it we'll deliver more articles each week so you can see more of the news, analysis, reportage and commentary our journalists are creating for you.

Last but not least, we're adding a simple and affordable subscription plan for those who would like to support our work. Il manifesto global has been operated ad-free with no paywall since we began publishing over eight years ago. That won't change — the new $1.99/month subscription is completely optional. But if you choose to sign up, you'll be helping to offset the cost of translation, editing and operating the website.

Subscribe here today

As always, if you have feedback for us, you can simply write to global@ilmanifesto.it. Thank you for being part of the il manifesto tradition. Your support enables independent journalism in an era where the space for both journalism and independence are under threat.

In solidarity,
