Unions such as the Los Angeles Federation of Labor and the California Teachers Association are providing resources to impacted communities. We applaud UTLA’s leadership in the unified response from united unions in the LA Unified School District to protect children and their families during this ongoing tragedy.
There are several ways to help support and make donations to victims of the wildfires. LA’s Mask Bloc has a form for people to request masks or offer volunteer time. As a means of survival, some displaced Black families, formerly of Altadena, have resorted to the crowdfunding platform GoFundMe to rebuild through financial support as the fires continue to ravage L.A. Be advised that any rent increases above 10% are considered price gouging which can be reported anywhere in the country, and by calling LA 311 at 213-473-3231 or by reporting it to the LA County Department of Consumer and Business Affairs if you live in Los Angeles.
