Welcome to The Voice
The Voice is more than a publication, it’s a platform for truth, accountability, and collective power. Born out of the need to challenge silence, uplift marginalized stories, and confront systems of injustice head-on, The Voice speaks for those too often ignored and erased.
We cover the real Gainesville. The uncomfortable history. The urgent present. The fight for a just future. From housing and education to racial equity and public policy, we shine a light where others won’t, and we don’t flinch.
Led by writers, organizers, and community members who live what they write, The Voice is here to inform, ignite, and inspire. This is journalism with teeth, storytelling with purpose, and a reminder that silence is complicity.
Speak up. Stay informed. Join the movement.
This is The Voice.
