Congress has cut federal funding for public media — a $3.4 million loss for LAist. We count on readers like you to protect our nonprofit newsroom. Become a monthly member and sustain local journalism.

This weekend marks the annual Spring Unique LA, and in addition to the recent annoucement that Sonja Rasula will be hosting a summer camp for adults this year, we've got some other exciting news: CoolHaus and Golden Road Brewing will be collaborating on a beer pretzel ice cream sandwich.

That all might sound a bit strange, but CoolHaus will be making a pretzel beer ice cream that plays on the elements of salty and sweet. They'll be making scoops with Golden Road Brewery's Russian Stout to make the ultimate beer/pretzel combo. (We're thankful they didn't try to work cheese into the mix somehow.)

In addition to the stout/pretzel action, they'll also be making a Berliner Weisse mandarin orange sorbet. Each sandwich costs $5. You can pick what kind of cookie you want to match with your ice cream, but the CoolHaus team recommends their double chocolate cookie with the Russian Stout and pretzel ice cream and our vegan ginger cookie with the Beliner Weisse mandarin sorbet.

They icy treats will be the perfect refreshment after shopping around the California Market Center for crafty wares this weekend. Unique LA is $10 at the door, with 10% of all ticket sales going to the Downtown Women’s Center (DWC). It'll be open from 11 a.m.-6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.

Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.

We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.

No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.

Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.

Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
