The clock is ticking.

Today is your last chance to become a member during our end-of-year fundraising campaign and help us plan The Berkeley Scanner's vital work for 2025.

I’ll keep it short: Without your support, Berkeley and Alameda County would lose a key source of public safety news, investigative reporting and essential updates that help us all stay informed and safe.

This year, we've told deeply nuanced stories about complex criminal cases and the many lives they affect. We've also held leaders accountable — all thanks to [**gifts from readers like you**](https://berkeleyscanner.bluelena.io/lt.php?x=3DZy~GDKJ6Se5sCq%5FdLHW.Zs23Ihj%5FX0luU1k8Y7U6LM65.u-0y.yuRr5X6kmNA~juU4&ref=berkeleyscanner.com).

Independent journalism doesn’t happen without community support. Your contribution today will ensure that TBS can continue its mission to serve our community with trustworthy, timely, authoritative news.

We understand not everyone can become a monthly member at this time.

If you'd like to support us but need another option, consider a one-time gift of any amount.

Your support, no matter the size, makes a big difference for our growing newsroom.
