We are so excited to celebrate a dozen years of community-supported, completely independent and local journalism—breaking essential news stories, amplifying marginalized voices, providing a lifeline to the local arts scene through thousands of reviews and previews, and guiding our readers through scary political times.

We also can’t wait to get together with the winners of our 51st Best of the Bay. Truly this will be a local star-studded affair, full of necessary community and lots of fun.

Please join us as a $20+ monthly member—and tell your friends to join up too, or buy tickets!—and help us continue into 2026. We truly appreciate your support!
