The Current is here to tell Lafayette’s story.

Events like Big Towns, Undercurrent Awards and Listen Up! connect our community with ideas that can help Lafayette thrive and put our experience in perspective.

This is what local journalism is all about. And it only happens with your support.

Our goal for May 2024 is to raise $15,000 to support our growing team of reporters and programs that connect Lafayette to the nation and the world.
