It's the last day of our spring campaign, and [**we need your help to finish strong**](https://buy.stripe.com/4gw4h4d835NZ6uQcN4?ref=berkeleyscanner.com).

When you support The Scanner with a **one-time gift of any amount**, you’re not just helping us reach a financial target — you’re making sure that you, your neighbors and our entire community stay informed and empowered about significant local events and decisions.

[Help us continue to tell stories that matter](https://buy.stripe.com/9AQcNA4Bxdgrf1m3cw?ref=berkeleyscanner.com)

Your contribution today of any amount helps us continue to report on critical issues, from the most timely coverage of breaking stories to key developments at City Hall: issues that affect everyone in our community each day.

We recently covered the Civic Center Park town hall, where community members voiced their concerns about the encampment across from Berkeley High. The city pledged to focus more resources on the park — and recently took action. 

We covered this story with nuance and care, bringing you a range of perspectives. Your support makes it possible for us to dive into these complex topics and keep you informed.

[Our work depends on you](https://buy.stripe.com/9AQcNA4Bxdgrf1m3cw?ref=berkeleyscanner.com)

Your contribution today will help us ramp up our City Hall coverage and hire more freelancers — so we can continue giving you the daily news you need and answering your public safety questions, even when it doesn't become a story.

Your support helps keep The Scanner independent, ad-free and paywall-free and ensures we can continue to provide the news you and your neighbors rely on.
