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.

May has been rough on LA.

That very first day we had the May Day Melee, then it got super hot, and then we had to deal with that damn fire. And we're only 10 days in!

Called "Lightning In A Bottle", the festival has no ATMs; low ticket prices; it rocks till 2am; it serves veggie, vegan, and raw foods; and it's almost entirely powered by renewable energy created with eco-friendly production practices - aka the mamajamma's green.

There will be bands, acts (like Lucent Dossier, pictured) hippy dip new age workshops, crazy stuff to buy, and the most interesting people that you will probably meet all month.
