ALT Arisia logo with title Leaving Twitter / X Text: Arisia would like to announce that the social media account on Twitter / X will no longer be updated. You can follow Arisia’s updates on other social media platforms: Check arisia.org/links for a list.

ALT Text: Arisia relies on social media to keep in touch with the larger community. We know that, for many people, Twitter / X remains an important link to that community. However, Arisia can no longer stand by silently in the face of the increased hatred, harassment, and self-serving suppression of speech that is Twitter / X’s current social media policy.

ALT Text: We encourage folks who follow us here to reach out on other platforms, or check arisia.org for ways to remain in touch. If you are registered for the convention, you will continue to receive Progress Reports via email every few months.
