UPDATED BELOW, COMMENTS NOW OPEN
The former editor of Philosophy & Public Affairs (which imploded in May) shared the following announcement:
On behalf of the former Editors of Philosophy and Public Affairs, I am pleased to announce the name of our newly founded journal, Free & Equal: A Journal of Ethics and Public Affairs, slated to launch for submissions in September 2024.
I am also excited to announce that I will serve as Free & Equal’s Editor-in-Chief. I look forward with enthusiasm to working once again with my distinguished Co-Editors, and to leading our diamond open-access journal. Hence the masthead of Free & Equal (listed below) is exactly same as the old masthead for Philosophy and Public Affairs prior to our resignation. Please note that no one on this masthead has any further involvement with Philosophy and Public Affairs, which is now entirely run by Wiley.
The name Free & Equal symbolizes our new journal’s aspiration to be free and equally accessible to all. Our ongoing mission remains the same: to publish work of the highest caliber that provides philosophical reflections on issues of public concern. I encourage everyone in the philosophy, law, and political theory communities to send us your best work, which we look forward to receiving.

UPDATE: A couple of philosophers on Twitter expressed the concern that the new title, "Free & Equal," implies a particular perspective on moral and political questions. Philosopher Paul Schofield (Bates) remarked that "the new title seems to me to imply a narrower focus—like the journal Utilitas or something. I doubt this was intentional, but it also seems kind of obvious to me."
