    Things to do

    Looking for some new perspective? Check out this talk:

    • Perspectives on Black-Jewish Relations in the Fight for Civil Rights: The Skirball’s Howard I. Friedman Memorial Lecture takes place on the 68th anniversary of the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Hear from Rev. Dr. Bernard Lafayette Jr. and Councilwoman Katy Yaroslavsky who consider the relationship of Jewish values to the establishment and defense of civil liberties. The fireside chat is inspired by the Skirball’s current exhibition This Light of Ours: Activist Photographers of the Civil Rights Movement. This year’s Howard I. Friedman Memorial Graduate Essay Prize winner and the lecture both explore the relationship between Black and Jewish communities.

    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
