The San Francisco Independent Journal is focused on bringing the people of the San Francisco Bay Area local news that affects them, without the influence of corporate money. We are volunteer-run and don't take money from advertisers or corporate donors, nor do we run for profit. SFIJ is a project of the Democratic Socialists of America, San Francisco chapter and all donations go towards the chapter with the intent to pay reporters, writers, photographers, and editors to tell stories from an independent perspective.
