DAVID, California is in a state of emergency.
Last night, a brush fire erupted near the Getty Museum in Los
Angeles. High winds turned the hillside into a firescape — it has burned more
than 600 acres, thousands are being evacuated, and firefighters are working
nonstop to contain the flames.
That is just today, in just one part of California. The Kincade
fire has been burning in Sonoma County since Wednesday. More than 66,000 acres
have burned; hundreds of thousands have been displaced from their homes.
I’m proud of my home state for responding the way we always do in
the face of continuous climate disasters. First responders are going above and
beyond to keep us safe. Shelters in surrounding counties are opening their
doors to take in stranded families. All of us are asking, “How can we help?”
Please keep safe,
Tom Steyer
