In times like these, Los Angeles’s heart beats louder than ever. It’s seen in the multiple actions of mutual aid across the county, with endless donation centers popping up, efforts to ensure animal life is preserved, spaces of rest being offered for community mental health support, neighbors helping neighbors, and strangers lending a hand. We are all locking arms and demonstrating how we are SoCal Strong.

Our beloved Los Angeles will rebuild, we will overcome, and one thing is certain, we will do it together.
