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.

All things gubernatorial seem to be Gavin, Gavin, Gavin these days. At least for the Democrats. Where's Jerry Brown? Will there even be a primary? Gavin has been to the Los Angeles area on a regular basis hosting town hall style meetings and today he's back, this time in South LA. Tonight's event is open to the public and is a "Conversation About California’s Future."

"California needs new leadership with new ideas," the San Francisco Mayor said. "I am speaking directly with voters across the state about how we can join together to move California in a new direction."

Next week he'll be host town halls in San Bernardino, Long Beach and Riverside. And although not listed on his website, he will also be hosting one in Orange County.
