As apocalyptic wildfires continue to burn and proliferate in and around Los Angeles, CA, it is important to seek out coverage and perspectives that help contextualize the story, connect it with larger structures and processes such as the world’s escalating climate crisis, and point readers toward opportunities to provide grassroots support. Below we are curating and aggregating important coverage from US-based independent and grassroots media outlets and also from global outlets that are looking at events from outside the US. For those looking to support mutual aid efforts, we recommend starting with the resources gathered by the Mutual Aid Los Angeles Network
