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.

Some of L.A. best street food comes indoors, takes a seat, and pours you a beer starting this Monday. It's part of a new series of pop-up events at Angeli Caffe, brought to you by restaurant owner and KCRW "Good Food" host Evan Kleiman and Street Gourmet LA blogger and adventurer Bill Esparza.

The series kicks off this Monday with an evening with Ricky's Fish Tacos (Twitter). We've obsessed about his fine, fished fare before, and now you don't have to hunt him down--and you can order up a beer since you'll be inside Angeli.

Whether it's your first intro to Ricky Piña's authentic Baja-style fish tacos or you're a devotee, hit up Angeli Caffe from 6-10p.m. on Monday July 26th and enjoy. More street food pop-up nights are forthcoming, too!

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.
