We aim to provide an accessible platform for diverse stories, communities and media makers through free, nonprofit news. Born from the Internet in 2015, our commercial-free platform operates non-hierarchically, independent of corporate or government control. Unicorn Riot is a registered 501(c)(3) in Minnesota.
