To Our Friends in LA
To my friends in Los Angeles, my friends with friends in Los Angeles, and my friends who are climate activists:
I deeply appreciate the relentless work of climate activists around the world who view these fires as yet another stark reminder of the severe consequences of the climate crisis. While your commitment to climate action is invaluable, right now is not the moment for that kind of activism. This is something different.
To my friends in LA: focus on securing the safety of your loved ones and your community. Work to prevent further destruction of public and private property, as well as the land impacted by these fires. Start thinking about how you will rebuild your community, your city, and even its leadership to ensure stronger, more effective leadership are in place to prevent this kind of devastation in the future. Secure the bags and pay it forward.
To my friends with loved ones in LA: take note. Protect your communities and your loved ones. Work to prevent further harm and destruction. Begin thinking collectively about how we can rebuild stronger communities and cities, which includes building leadership that can better serve and protect against future crises. Secure the bags and pay it forward.
In the meantime, I’ll be here sipping. Take care, loves! We’re unstoppable! 🏁🥷🏾👋🏾
