A Crisis Fueled by Neglect Los Angeles is engulfed in flames, and our city is paying the price for a devastating lack of leadership. The wildfires raging across the region have left countless families displaced, communities destroyed, and lives shattered. Yet, this tragedy didn’t happen in a vacuum—it was exacerbated by a deliberate decision made just one year ago. In 2024, Mayor @MayorOfLA made the controversial move to defund the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD), leaving one of the most vital emergency response teams in our city underfunded and under-resourced. At a time when climate change and wildfire risks have never been more severe, this decision has had catastrophic consequences. Firefighters are now battling these unprecedented fires with fewer resources, while the people of Los Angeles bear the brunt of the fallout. Instead of prioritizing the safety and well-being of Angelenos, it seems the focus has been placed elsewhere—on political agendas and misaligned budget cuts. Meanwhile, our city burns, and families are left wondering why their safety was not a priority. This is a wake-up call. Leadership should protect its people, not jeopardize them. The defunding of LAFD was a failure in foresight and responsibility, and it’s costing lives. As Los Angeles faces this devastating crisis, we must hold decision-makers accountable for their actions and demand that public safety never takes a backseat to politics again. The people of this city deserve better. Our firefighters deserve better. Los Angeles deserves better.
