The Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation fills in funding gaps to connect firefighters with the protective equipment and latest tools they need to do their jobs, while working to ensure firefighters’ long-term health and safety.

And United Way of Greater Los Angeles is providing support to low-income individuals, people experiencing homelessness, small businesses, and community organizations affected by the wildfires.

Now, when it comes to crises like these, we must walk and chew gum at the same time. We must do everything possible right now to support the communities that are in danger. And we must face the fact that the climate crisis is causing these devastating disasters, and will put more and more people at risk of extreme weather events.

It isn’t “politicization” to recognize that basic fact — greedy fossil fuel interests and climate deniers are the ones whose radical political agenda puts our people in danger.

Long term, I’ll keep working to make sure we as a nation do more to fight climate change.

And right now, we must come together behind the people whose lives are being torn apart by these wildfires. Can you split a donation between the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation and United Way of Greater Los Angeles?

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth
