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.

SoCal Connected on KCET continues to impress us with their locally featured news content (this is definitely a show to subscribe to on TIVO). On Thursday night, they did a very nice feature on Congressman Henry Waxman and his powerful and long term career representing the Westside of Los Angeles.

And for even more on Waxman, check out LAist contributor Jeremy Oberstein's recent profile on him.
