2011 FUND DRIVE A SUCCESS!
Our 2011 year-end fundraising drive exceeded our expectations by more than 50 percent — our goal was $6,000, and we raised $9,150. That includes matching donations of $3,000 from our board of directors. But if you missed the New Year’s Eve deadline we would love you to become a member today: Please support independent public media in San Francisco.
The newspaper
Winter print edition ON SALE NOW
The special section tackles the Healthy San Francisco program, the city's unique attempt at local “universal” health care. We found that the quality of the care is great, but there is a hidden cost: reliance on federal grants and an overstretched network of community clinics facing a flood of new patients.

Back issues of No. 1, 2, 3 & 4 are also available for mail order. Read select stories from the first four issues online: Fall 2011 select stories | Issue 4 — Spring 2011 select stories | Issue 3 — Fall 2010 select stories | Issue 2 — Summer 2010 select stories | Issue 1
