THE THORN MEDIA SOCIETY
A BC Incorporated Non-profit Society.
Society No: S0074243
The Society was formed to support The Thorn, a newsletter by socialists from Vancouver. The Thorn newsletter provides a socialist perspective on issues and events that affect the Lower Mainland.
It’s a little known fact that the City of Vancouver’s official flower is the rose, which also happens to be the unofficial symbol of the resurgent socialist movement. Everybody loves the beautiful blossom, but forgets about the thorns beneath it. In a city built on stolen Indigenous land, whose beauty is sold by the square foot for profit, there has always been money to be made by obscuring the ugly realities under the guise of greenwashing and boosterism.
The Thorn aims to contribute to the collective work of digging for the truth and telling the stories of the city from the bottom up. We need sharp — sometimes even prickly — criticism in order to think clearly about making a better world.
