We can do better! Here's a guide: 👇👇

The law is just what we're willing to enforce at this point. Not great news if institutionalism continues to prevail among the opposition.

It’s a long and hard fight ahead (and behind us), so figure out what you care about and what your role can be. We need everyone.

A heartbreaking aspect of the LA wildfires is the destruction of Altadena, a community where Black families settled after the Great Migration exempt from redlining.
The California Community Foundation uses the Social Vulnerability Index to target the needy areas. Lmk if you see other ways to help!

It is amazing to see the outpouring of generosity and mutual aid in times of crisis - America is still a giving and open-hearted country, no matter what the bots say. 💝
If you know of others please let me know!
We've been in Pasadena this year on sabbatical leave. Our family + home are safe, but our community has been absolutely devastated.
If you're moved to give, here are some vetted relief organizations and GoFundMes from people I know directly in my community.
