Patrisse Cullors Instagram – In the aftermath of the January 2025 fire storms and now our rains, Los Angeles is in peril—communities uprooted, ecosystems obliterated. This catastrophe underscores the costs of climate change and our collective negligence. We implore the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and City Councils to implement comprehensive water collection systems, collaborate with Indigenous communities to integrate Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), and appoint a Special Liaison for Land and Water Governance. The State of California must purposely re-locate landslide material to burn areas and support TEK integration through grants and land trusts Federally, a modern WPA focused on climate resilience is imperative, alongside partnerships with Indigenous nations for sustainable land and water governance. Global climate advocacy groups should collaborate with governments to implement innovative soil testing and training.
Key Requests:
1. Manage toxicity in burn zones to protect public health.
2. Establish protocols for landslide and debris management.
3. Develop labor and study programs for ecological restoration.
4. Integrate TEK into land and water governance.
5. Appoint a Special Liaison for Governance to oversee these initiatives.
6. Ensure strategic rainwater retention for fire prevention and ecological rehabilitation.
7. Prioritize housing and safety by pausing evictions and creating sustainable housing solutions.
Together, we can build a resilient future for Los Angeles County and beyond. link in bio to sign our petition! #climateaction
