"Because of you, Streetsblog enters the new year on solid footing. These funds help us keep showing up at city council meetings, planning commission hearings, courtrooms, and community forums. They allow us to report deeply on traffic violence, climate impacts, transit funding, housing, and the ways infrastructure decisions shape daily life. They also help us push back against narratives that frame road deaths as inevitable, or equity as optional."
"Reaching this goal is especially meaningful because it reflects a growing understanding that transportation journalism is not niche - it's foundational. How we move determines who has access to jobs, schools, healthcare, and safety. It determines who breathes clean air and who bears the burden of pollution. And it determines whether our streets are places for community or corridors for harm."
"Whether you were the family that donated $5,000 or the person who donated $.99 you have my sincerest and warmest thanks from the bottom of my heart. 2026 will be my 20th year affiliated with a Streetsblog. I didn't start thinking that this would be my life's work, but thanks to all of the feedback, clicks, donations and everything else, these years have been incredibly meaningful."
Streetsblog California closed the year by surpassing a $20,000 fundraising goal, with donations ranging from $0.99 to $5,000. The funds secure continued on-the-ground coverage at city council meetings, planning commission hearings, courtrooms, and community forums, and enable reporting on traffic violence, climate impacts, transit funding, housing, and infrastructure's effects on daily life. The resources support efforts to counter narratives that treat road deaths as inevitable and equity as optional. The operating capital facilitates short-video expansions for Streetsblog Los Angeles and Streetsblog California and enables plans to expand coverage in the Bay Area.
