About Us

Bay Area Current covers working-class life and culture across the Bay Area.

We’re straight up about our politics–we write from a leftist perspective and we cover stories often ignored in the mainstream press. We’re not aligned to a political party. Our writers come from a range of perspectives and many are not professional journalists. They’re local organizers, tenants, workers, students and artists writing about what they know.

We do not take money from billionaires. We are funded primarily by support from readers like you, and also through membership dues of East Bay Democratic Socialists of America.
