In the face of LA County's devastating wildfires, we appreciate the fearless efforts of everyone involved, including the unsung heroes - the incarcerated firefighters, first responders, and community volunteers.

As we rebuild LA County, let's ensure the rising phoenix symbolizes not just recovery, but the promise of an equitable future for all.
