From the Editor: December 2025

Hello neighbor! You are holding the FIFTH issue of Lower Haight Local, a local newsletter / zine for all of the amazing people and things happening in Lower Haight. This zine is the direct product of your neighbors’ writing, doodling, and designing.

Some fun updates:

• This month, our monthly art night had 20 people come by to make art (next one will be mid-December)
• We are applying for nonprofit status, in the hopes of getting grants. If you know about this process or of available grants, or would like to donate in a tax deductible way, please reach out.

As always, this is your paper. Get involved and help make it what you want!

To stay up to date, follow us on Instagram @lowerhaightlocal
