On behalf of ACLU SoCal staff, I have launched a campaign to collect funds for our former colleagues directly impacted by the catastrophe.

At the ACLU SoCal, we are proud to be the place many people turn to in times of need. We work hard to hold our communities up when the struggle feels difficult and to provide hope in difficult moments. Like so many people throughout Southern California, we have been deeply impacted by the fires and windstorms in Los Angeles. We are turning to you now because we could use a helping hand.

Donations are not tax-deductible. A separate campaign has also been launched for *current* staff members impacted by the fires.

We are acutely aware that times are tough for folks across the country right now. We are grateful for donations in any amount.
