Newspapers and media companies nationwide are closing or suffering mass layoffs since the coronavirus impacted all of us starting in March. City Weekly's entire existence is directly tied to people getting together in groups--in clubs, restaurants, and at concerts and events--which are the industries most affected by new coronavirus regulations.
Our industry is not healthy. Yet, City Weekly has continued publishing thanks to the generosity of readers like you. Utah needs independent journalism more than ever, and we're asking for your continued support of our editorial voice. We are fighting for you and all the people and businesses hardest hit by this pandemic.
You can help by making a one-time or recurring donation on PressBackers.com, which directs you to our Galena Fund 501(c)(3) non-profit, a resource dedicated to help fund local journalism. It is never too late. It is never too little. Thank you.

Dear GYA, Yes, it's true. I smoked crack cocaine a while back and, to be honest, I do all sorts of crazy shenanigans in my drunken stupors. How can I be held responsible for all the times I got wasted, caught the 5th street bus downtown, met up with my buddy Crazy Eyes, picked up a crack rock for $20 and casually smoked it in a dumpster filled with kitty litter behind my office? Anything happening tonight that doesn't involve crack? - Rob Ford, Mayor of Toronto---
