The magazine is printed on recycled paper and archives all its issues online.

YES! is a member of The Media Consortium, an international network of over 70 independent progressive journalism organizations including Mother Jones, The Nation, Grist, Democracy Now!, and many others.[8] YES! and other Media Consortium outlets participated in a 2017 study[9] that looked at the impact they could have on the national conversation.[10]
