When the City Council is talking about legalizing scooters, who gets you the scoop?

When Mayor de Blasio defies an out-of-step community board to support protected bike lanes, who brings you the story?

When pedestrians are killed and the NYPD or the District Attorneys fail to level charges, who holds them accountable?

And when the MTA kills Select Bus Service claiming it’s strapped for cash, who advocates for beleaguered commuters?

These are rhetorical questions because the answer is clear: it’s Streetsblog! And we love doing it.

But every year around this time, we ask you — our loyal readers and fellow livable streets champions — to dig deep and make a small tax-deductible contribution to keep our brilliant team of writers and editors on the job for another year.

Every day this month, you’ll see this icon on every story. Just click the picture and you’ll be redirected to our donation form.

It only takes a minute to save a life — or, in this case, help us keep fighting to reclaim our streets from the tyranny of the automobile through intense, focused, fact-based reporting that empowers New Yorkers to demand change and forces the politicians to better serve the car-free majority.

We can’t do it without you, so please, give what you can. Thanks.
