Mission Local, SF

For all of May, Mission Local has $25,000 in matching grants, meaning your donation is doubled if you choose to give this month. Please do so. We are a nonprofit newsroom committed to bringing you the most in-depth reporting on the Mission District and San Francisco. We have been in the neighborhood since 2008, training a cadre of young journalists to cover this city, keeping readers informed, and winning awards in the process. This year, we have been covering the elections and giving San Franciscans what they need to know before casting a vote: We have an elections dashboard with everything you need to know before November. This is election reporting unlike any other you’ll get in this city, and we cannot do any of this critical work without our donors. Please consider joining the hundreds of other San Franciscans who believe in our journalism — and help keep it free — by donating. With 4 days left, we are 91% of the way to our goal. https://lnkd.in/gFsfV-iB
