Today is the last day of the spring membership drive for @theurbanist.org! If you like democracy and cities and awesome events and amazing local journalism, you should probably sign up as a monthly donor.
Coverage of tonight’s Town Hall! The energy was celebratory. Thanks to everyone who joined.

We are on the last day of our Spring Member Drive, and we just want to say thank you to everyone who’s already stepped up to support The Urbanist—your support is what allows us to grow our team and expand our reporting.
If you’ve been meaning to give, now’s the time to become a member:
