Urban Wildfires in Los Angeles – Health and Environmental Impacts and Community-Led Solutions

Wildfires are not only environmental disasters, they are health, housing, and economic crises that magnify systemic inequities in frontline communities and expose deep gaps in public response, infrastructure, and policy. The people most vulnerable to displacement, pollution, and climate impacts are also those leading the charge toward just, restorative solutions. From neighborhoods downwind of wildfire burn zones, to frontline communities burdened by cumulative pollution and climate risks, Los Angeles residents are facing overlapping environmental and public health threats. Yet, they are organizing for transformation: land stewardship, public health protections, clean-up and remediation strategies, and job pathways rooted in care, not extraction.

This webinar will ground the issue of urban wildfires in LA within the broader fight for environmental justice, public health, and climate resilience. It will also illustrate the urgency and opportunity for funders to invest in intersectional, community-based strategies that address the root causes and aftermath of climate disasters—strategies that build long-term capacity, advance a restorative economy, and ensure the most impacted communities shape the future of resilience.

Developing a Funding Strategy In Response to SNAP Cuts

The scale and scope of the $186 billion in SNAP cuts included in the Trump administration’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R.1) are staggering and could force millions to lose their benefits. There is a need to identify clear national, state, and local strategies for diverse capital partners to address the structural harm to SNAP and widespread negative impacts on hunger, health, nutrition and economic security posed by this legislation. 

For the first 45 minutes of this call, speakers will share insights into emerging needs for advocacy, technical assistance, strategic communications, and other areas, in both the short and long term. Following Q&A with our panel, there will be a funder-only conversation to reflect on how organizations are responding, what is being funded, and how we could collaborate.
