The Week in Do Gooding LA
Summer is coming to a close and we don't know about you, but we're feeling a little charitable.

One year ago, Congress voted to defund public media, eliminating a critical $1.7 million from our budget every year going forward. But they couldn’t silence us, and we’re not going anywhere.
