The gift that keeps giving all year

Our mission to publish fact-based journalism, promote civic engagement, report on complex issues that have a direct impact on the community and hold elected officials accountable is essential for the Tri-Valley and our democracy. 

We need your help to continue!

In the past year, if you have read even one story that gave you information you needed, answered a question you had, gave you context on an important issue, or had some other positive impact on your life, please give your tax-deductible today.  Gifts will be matched up to $5,000. 

Happy Holidays!
Gina, Pleasanton Weekly Publisher
