KEEP SAN FRANCISCO COLORFUL

Support 48 Hills –the Bay Area’s only nonprofit, completely independent, progressive news source — and help keep alternative media vibrant and thriving.

DEAR READERS,

We’ve just launched our subscription donation service, which means we’ve made it incredibly easy to pledge a monthly recurring donation to 48 Hills. Please consider donating a monthly amount to help us cover our costs, and continue to break the important news stories the major media chains won’t touch.

CLICK HERE TO DONATE NOW

We’re dedicated to writing about topics no one else can write about with authority and depth, delivering arts and events recommendations that keep the colorful spirit of the Bay Area alive, offering an outlet for voices that are being drowned out by greed and corruption, and fostering lively debate about essential issues. We love doing this, and we want to do it for years to come. Please consider a subscription donation (tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law) and spread the word to friends and fellow lovers of the Bay Area. Thank you for all your support!

— Tim and Marke
