I would second this and say donate today. Focusing on who has money and who doesn’t today is really not a good policy. It is a generalization that is bound to misclassify some old ladies on a fixed income (my mom has one sleeping on her couch because of this). People who lost their homes and all their possessions yesterday and today may not be as wealthy as they were 24 hours ago.

Absolutely! The community burned down by the Eaton fire is a mix of gentrification and minorities that were pushed out by Pasadena and South Pasadena’s discriminatory laws and red lining decades ago.

The Palisades fire is getting more national attention (and here) but realistically it’s only a small part of the tragedy playing out right now.
