Citizens United to Stop Citizens United
Not a city renowned for a robust and engaged political community, seeing this video made me proud to be from LA.
I’m a total sucker for videos of people using their bodies to make shapes and words for aerial photography. Never gets old.

Hat tip to Good Magazine for the post.
