About thegabber.org

Thegabber.org is an alternative news hub. We are not a ‘neutral’ news source – if such a thing exists. On the contrary, we are on the side of those people around the world who in one form or another are struggling against oppression and inequality. By aggregating stories from a range of sources across the world, we hope to enable people to learn about, and support, each other’s struggles. We provide a platform to organizations, groups or individuals that do not have government or corporate backing, and whose voices are often lost in a news media environment that is dominated by large news corporations.
