Our June member drive is live: protect this resource!
Right now, we need your help during our short June member drive to keep the local news you read here every day going. This has been a challenging year, but with your help, we can get one step closer to closing our budget gap. Today, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership.


Important Announcement: It's almost time for Corgi Beach Day. Corgi Beach Day is a magical event that's exactly what it sounds like: a bunch of people take their corgis to the beach. Then the corgis run around with their short, little legs and frolic along the shore.

The event happens quarterly, and the next one is on April 11 at Huntington Dog Beach. According to their Facebook page, they began in 2012 with only 15 corgi attendees and are now expecting at least 500 corgis at the upcoming event. Previous meet-ups have seen corgi numbers in the 300s. Can your mind even handle how many adorable doggies that is? There will also be a costume contest and a limbo competition.

SoCal Corgi Beach Day also has a five-star Yelp rating, so you know it's nothing short of respectable.
