America is an idea.
Happy Halloween! What might be even more spooky: Election Day is a few days away. It’s another chance to improve on this American experiment and build a community that is closer to the dream. If you’re reading this, you probably have a plan to vote (and very likely already dropped off your ballot). We appreciated the roundup of LA voter guides that LA Public Press put together this year. And we hope, when it comes to Los Angeles County’s Measure A, you — like us — are voting early and voting yes.
Greetings from the edge of summer
Every Monday morning, our team gathers around our screens to analyze the past week's headlines. Scowling over our monitors, coffee mugs in hands, we swap hot takes, historic context, a joke or two (hit or miss), and inevitably, a few gems of wisdom we can take back to our clients.
Grateful for Los Angeles
In this time of so much chaos in the world, we are especially grateful for our community in Los Angeles—for each of you, our partners, collaborators, and extended family—and our shared values that guide our work.
Celebrating 5 years of Ocean & Mountain
It’s been an historic year for social justice in Los Angeles. Even a tropical-storm downpour couldn’t cool off our “hot labor summer,” as hotel workers, city employees, screenwriters, and actors are all taking stands to improve working conditions and pay.
