More storms are expected this weekend.
Last week, California was pummeled by an atmospheric river storm system intensified by climate change. The state received more than half of its annual rainfall in just 2 days1 — triggering over 560 mudslides, displacing thousands of people evacuated from flood zones, and leaving at least 9 people dead.2
This weekend, California is expected to be hit by 2 more storms.
Today, we’re launching a direct relief fundraiser for a California organization working to help the thousands of people impacted by the flooding. Can you make a $5 contribution today to help relief efforts?

United Way of Ventura County and United Way of Greater Los Angeles are both working to assist low-income residents of Los Angeles and Ventura Counties, where some regions reported nearly 9 inches of rainfall in less than 36 hours. United Way is now working to provide food, clothing, and monetary assistance to impacted residents.
