A collage of images are stacked next to each other. One features a light-skinned man in a suit and tie running outside. Another features a man and a woman in an embrace. A third features an illustration of Spiderman in the air. Another image features a close up of a dark-skinned man looking behind his shoulder. Another shows a man in a long jacket and hat with his arms and hands outstretched. And the final image shows two women with dark hair looking straight into the camera.
Clockwise from top left: "Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One," "Passages," "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse," "Daughters," "Only Murders in the Building," "Hijack."

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.

But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.

We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.

Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
Senior Vice President News, Editor in Chief
