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 if we needed further evidence that the Arts District is the place to be in L.A., Stumptown roasters from Portland has officially set up shop in the neighborhood. Their new facility will be located on Sante Fe Street and 7th Place, just steps from the oh-so-hot right now Bestia and Bread Lounge.

Granted this new opening will give the nearby Handsome Roasters and Urth Cafe a little bit of competition, but there's something for everyone. And this means more jobs in DTLA, which is a great thing for aspiring baristas.

Says Eater L.A.:


They've already posted job listings on their site, everything from lead roaster to baristas. The building itself is pretty expansive, overlooking most of Sante Fe with potentially large windows looking out...Stumptown's new location already has a roaster in place based on a peek inside, though contractors are still building out most of the interior. It might still be months before the roastery and cafe are ready to open, but it's just one more reason for coffee fanatics in L.A. to get excited.

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.
