Friend, California is in a state of emergency.
Last night, a brush fire erupted near the Getty Museum in Los Angeles. High winds turned the hillside into a firescape — it has burned more than 600 acres, thousands are being evacuated, and firefighters are working nonstop to contain the flames.
That is just today, in just one part of California. The Kincade fire has been burning in Sonoma County since Wednesday. More than 66,000 acres have burned; hundreds of thousands have been displaced from their homes.
I’m proud of my home state for responding the way we always do in the face of continuous climate disasters. First responders are going above and beyond to keep us safe. Shelters in surrounding counties are opening their doors to take in stranded families. All of us are asking, “How can we help?”
Please keep safe,
Tom Steyer
