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.

As the holidays approach, it's time to start thinking about forking over some money for gifts. But if you're like us, there's no way in heck you'll get caught in the Black Friday craziness next week, especially if you want to come out unscathed. If you want to make it out of the holiday shopping season alive, you might consider the Epicure Imports warehouse sale in North Hollywood.

Granted foodies can get a little be rambunctious over reserving a spot a the next Ludo Bites pop-up, but we hardly anticipate the sleepless frenzy that happened last year at Wal Mart.

They're putting steep discounts on all sorts of stuff, from cheeses and vinegars to fancy olive oils and jams tomorrow form 12:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m., though sadly there won't be any inclusion of foie gras pateas there was last year. If you can't play hooky from work, they'll be going strong through Saturday too, from 9:30 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.

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.
