In the past week, Berkeleyside has published stories on subjects as varied as an initiative to care for the pets of the homeless, a phone scam that left a Berkeley man $38,000 poorer and the creative Berkeley adults and kids who will be exhibiting at this weekend’s Maker Fair.
We have literally dozens of stories on our to-do list every week — stories on education, crime, development and culture that directly impact all of us who live in Berkeley.
We can’t research and write these stories without your support. Please help us continue to break news and give the community a voice by becoming a Berkeleyside supporter — for as little as $5 a month. If you sign up as a supporter at any level before May 31 we will send you a free Berkeleyside T-shirt. Seriously, how can you resist?
