Week in, week out, Berkeleyside provides breaking news, investigative stories and feature articles to the Berkeley community.
We need you to help us continue to provide that coverage.
On this #GivingTuesday we hope you will consider how valuable Berkeleyside is to you, and that you will support us by becoming a Berkeleyside Member.
At the time of writing Berkeleyside counts 401 members who have supported us in the past 12 months. We have set a goal of achieving 500 members by Dec. 31! Will you join the club to help us meet that goal?
A sustainable Berkeleyside requires support from a number of different sources, including you, our community of readers.
(If you already support us, we salute you!)
Become a Berkeleyside member with a monthly subscription. As a Berkeleyside member you’ll receive great benefits, including:
- Deep discounts on tickets to many events, including the annual Uncharted Berkeley Festival of Ideas
- Guest passes to the BSide Talks series and to members-only events
- Invitation to the always fabulous annual Members’ Party
The first 30 people to become new supporters at the $10/month or higher level will receive a free, beautiful Berkeleyside 2015 calendar. The calendar features 12 photographs by some of your favorite Berkeleyside photographers, including Ira Serkes, Nancy Rubin and Daniel Parks. (Those are a few of the calendar photos shown at top.)
Others may buy the calendar direct from Berkeleyside for $30 each. If you want to pay by credit card, simply email editors@berkeleyside.com with your phone number, and we’ll call you to take payment; checks for orders can be sent to: Berkeleyside LLC, PO Box 5232, Berkeley, CA 94705.
We look forward to welcoming you on board and thank you in advance for your support!
