From Resource Generation:


“Every crisis, actual or impending, needs to be viewed as an opportunity to bring about profound changes in our society.” - Grace Lee Boggs

 

Wildfires continue to devastate communities and land across our city and region, most severely impacting unhoused, incarcerated, disabled, poor, working class, and Black, Latine, Indigenous, people of color. This crisis has revealed the failures of our economic and political systems, designed to prioritize profit and property over people and mother earth, amidst an escalating climate emergency and housing crisis. Nonetheless, millions of people have shown up for each other in miraculous ways, both to meet immediate needs, utilizing mutual aid groups, grassroots organizations, and unions, and to collectively invest in a liberatory future for all people and living beings. 

 

We’re excited to share with you what we’ve learned about the past that has shaped the present and what’s possible for a more liberatory future. We need your support in resourcing critical work that will support our communities as we recover and grow, and ensure that we not leave anyone behind in years to come. We will hear from several organizations and projects, including RG LA’s chapter partners, and other local projects and organizations that are both addressing immediate needs and building sustainable, long-term projects in the face of harmful forces of capital and extraction. We will share a spectrum of solutions to address our ongoing land and housing crises and how we can support the return to living in reciprocity with fire and land.

 

This event is designed for people outside of LA, but all are welcome regardless of location and access to wealth. If you’re not able to attend the event, please sign up and we’ll share a recording.
