Dear Jack,

At the start of 2025, wildfires tore through California, destroying homes,
displacing families, and leaving thousands in crisis. But when disaster struck,
this community stepped up—just like we always do.

Thanks to you, the Daily Kos community raised nearly $200,000 to support
organizations providing direct relief on the ground:

* California Community Foundation Wildfire Relief Fund
* California Fire Foundation
* Direct Relief
* Los Angeles Regional Food Bank
* World Central Kitchen
💥 This is what we do. 💥

I’ve always known this community was special, but watching you rally in
moments like this is humbling. You didn’t hesitate. You saw people in need, and
you took action. Erin, who led the campaign, put it best: “You stepped up and
helped raise a huge sum of money in support of organizations on the ground in
California and their relief efforts. THIS is the community I know and love, and
this is the community that I am proud to be a part of.”

I couldn’t agree more. You are the reason Daily Kos isn’t just a news
site—it’s a force for change. And right now, we have bigger fights ahead. From
climate disasters to Trump’s war on democracy, we need independent media
willing to take the fight to them.

I’m so grateful for everything you do. If you’re proud of this community and
want to keep it strong, please consider chipping in today: Donate $5, $25, or
whatever you can.
