At AfroLA, we report on investigations that matter to you and your community. Earlier this year, we published a two-part series about the long-term effects of the L.A. Department of Water and Power's extensive landownership in the rural Owens Valley 300 miles from L.A. We co-published with The Guardian U.S. and Inyo County's The Sheet.

Our investigation revealed that in 2015, DWP made consequential changes to their lease terms that created personal hardship for locals, from the seizure of residents' backyards to business owners unable to sell and retire. Hundreds of families who have lived and built lives in Eastern Sierra have seen everything upended, often being left with the stark choice of abandoning their livelihoods or fighting DWP.

At AfroLA, we make sure we include and center young people in our partnerships. How? In June, AfroLA partnered with to produce an immersive art exhibition focused on the intersection of environmental and racial justice. The exhibit was the culmination of work by Da Vinci Communications High School students and professional visual storytellers. It was located at the . This project and exhibition was a 9-month journey to capture residents and activists from predominately Black and Latine communities, including Inglewood, Leimert Park and Wilmington. At the closing ceremony, we had a panel discussion with residents and photographers who were a part of our 9-month journey.

One reason why you should give a little to help us reach our fundraising goal of $5,000 is that our journalists report on a myriad of various topics that haven't been explored before. Reporter and photographer Ural Garrett wrote about his relationship with the Black church and why L.A.'s "Black Church" experience spans religious ideologies, while being grounded in community.
