Los Angeles faces $250B in wildfire damage, projected to be the worst natural disaster in U.S. history. Instead of paying Wall Street to rebuild, a public bank can keep our dollars local, funding critical services and projects. The devastation is immense, but so is the resilience of Angelenos.
To rebuild homes, schools, and businesses, the city shouldn’t rely on costly Wall Street bonds. A public bank keeps recovery dollars local, financing wildfire prevention and rebuilding efforts while reinvesting in our communities.
If you or someone you know needs help right now, here’s a list of resources, including food, water, and shelter.
