What we do
Wire
We are a wire service to the world's progressive forces.
Every day, the Wire translates stories, essays, and statements from Progressive International members and partner publications.
Our aim is to provide a diversity of perspectives on international issues. Publication in the Wire is not an endorsement from the Progressive International.
