It\u2019s our birthday month! On August 24, 1970, the first edition of El Tecolote<\/em> rolled off the press, soon becoming a trusted voice for San Francisco\u2019s Latino communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past five decades, El Teco\u2019s<\/em> legacy has been built by a dedicated team of staff and volunteers committed to a vision of journalism that is bilingual, bicultural and rooted in service to the city\u2019s immigrants, workers, artists and other underserved groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, El Tecolote<\/em> is stronger than ever, reaching audiences on platforms like Instagram and WhatsApp while staying grounded in our core mission: to create journalism with and for our communities that informs, defends and uplifts the most marginalized among us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We couldn\u2019t do it without you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To celebrate 55 years of independent community journalism, join us for a birthday fundraiser on Friday, August 22! There will be cumbia, palomas, sheet cake, a pi\u00f1ata and plenty of good company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
