We won. We saved Warrior Nun.

Celebrate. We did this. YOU did this. Whether you tweeted a million times or just once, whether you made it to meetups or just hit the like button on a photo of one, if you just left the show streaming on your devices, if you contributed positively to the campaign, this is your victory. Celebrate, revel, and lift up others around you with your joy.
And for the next big question: now what?
We can't speak for anyone else, but this newsletter will be pivoting to share news over the next weeks, months, and years as Warrior Nun returns. As we get news, content, etc. we'll share it, as well as continue to highlight the good works our community, our fandom does. It will stop being daily next week, and be more periodic based on when there's news to share, so stay subscribed.
It's fitting that the positive news comes on Pride Day. Warrior Nun has always been a symbol of representation and to see a fandom rally for 197 days straight - and see that faith rewarded - is a victory amplified. So many shows - especially sapphic shows - have been canceled of late that a victory for one is hope for others. One of the things we'll be working on in the days ahead is a detailed writeup of all the infrastructure and process behind our corner of the campaign so that other fandoms can use it as a template for their own efforts. We'll share that in a future issue as well.
What's next for you? Here are some things to do as you celebrate:
You've subscribed to this newsletter, so please do stick around.

Finally, bookmark and stay tuned to the Warrior Nun website.
We'll echo what KTY said early on: the most valuable thing to come out of the #SaveWarriorNun campaign was and always will be the friends we made along the way. That we won is icing (albeit very sweet icing) on the cake. Keep those relationships, those group chats, those inside jokes alive. Stay in touch with each other. And know that you beat the odds and did the nearly impossible.
You saved Warrior Nun.
