pasadena humane has taken in 300+ animals affected by the Eaton fire in los angeles. as of today, calfire has given the nonprofit animal shelter the greenlight to go into the burn areas of the Eaton fire. the team anticipates a heartbreaking scene.

as their teams head directly into the affected areas, pasadena humane urgently needs monetary donations to help purchase medical supplies and other resources as they anticipate a significant increase in the number of burned and injured animals coming to their shelter.

please consider donating ♥️

LA Wildfire Relief & Unhoused/Mutual Aid Donation Info 1/10/25

Hello friends, I've made a list of some of the many, many amazing grassroots organizations and mutual aid groups here in LA that are helping out with wildfire relief, advocacy for our unhoused communities, and advocacy for our firefighters—many of whom are incarcerated individuals making slave wages with no guarantee of continued employment once freed.

We've seen an incredible outpouring of volunteers in the last couple of days, but could still use all the help we can get. Even donating just a couple bucks or helping to spread the word is super super helpful!

This is by no means a comprehensive list, but I hope it provides a starting point for anyone who is looking to help out. Feel free to reblog and add more as needed, especially if there is an organization you want to highlight!

(Note: I'm including Instagram links for all of these orgs as things here in LA have been changing rapidly and that is where I have been able to find the most up-to-date information.)

💙 MUTUAL AID LOS ANGELES NETWORK (MALAN) is an online directory for mutual aid groups across the greater Los Angeles area. They've also been maintaining a massive spreadsheet of available resources for anyone affected by the fires, as well as information for volunteers.

💙 ANTI-RECIDIVISM COALITION works to end mass incarceration in California by empowering formerly and currently incarcerated people with a support network, reentry services, and opportunities to advocate for change. This includes the 800 or so incarcerated individuals who are currently fighting the wildfires here in LA with no guarantee of continued employment once freed.

Hi everyone, within the last few days, an entire community just blocks above where I live has burnt down in the CA Eaton Fire. I’m incredibly lucky that my house has managed to stay standing, but thousands of people are not as fortunate. I know I’m not extremely active on Tumblr at this point, but I’d greatly appreciate it if you could share this post and this link and donate if you have the means

[w1ng3dw01f]

So, a little bit of an update on Los Angeles Burning

The Pacific Palisades Fire is now at 11,800~ acres (the evacuation line is getting closer and closer to me in Encino, which is worrying.)

The Hurst Fire has grown to 700 acres.

The Eaton/Altadena fire is now at 10,600 acres.

And there was a super cool, super secret fourth fire (😒) in the Sepulveda Basin on Woodley Avenue. The Sepulveda Basin is a wildlife preserve, park, golf course spot, homeless area, etc. It was initially 75 acres, but has been contained into 30. It has not escaped from the Basin, which is good.

The images and information shared I got from the Watch Duty App, which monitors fires and things.

((I have reblogged this twice with updates and will continue to do so))
