IBTU Relief Fire Impacted Community Forum
Saturday, July 19, 10:30am-12pm
Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza
(3650 W. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd, L.A.) |
This space is designed to provide updates on the Fire Relief Hub based on what we've heard so far-and more importantly, to listen and learn from you. We'll hear directly from those impacted by the Eaton and Pacific Palisades fires, share how IBTU is showing up, and explore new was we can continue to advocate and respond.
Too often, events speak at communities instead of with them. This gathering is different-it's a chance for real-time feedback, open dialogue, and collective problem-solving. Together, we'll connect families to care and ensure both new and longtime partners understand the ongoing needs of our neighbors. |
