Rise and Rebuild LA Launches “Fire Relief” Events to Support Domestic Workers
Everyone is invited to events scheduled for February 5 (virtual) & February 8 (in-person), which aim to provide critical support for those impacted by wildfires
LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, January 28, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As wildfires and economic disruptions devastate Los Angeles, domestic workers—housekeepers, gardeners, childcare providers—face unprecedented challenges. Rise and Rebuild LA is addressing this urgent need with two impactful “Fire Relief” events, with the inaugural event supporting One Voice, a grassroots organization providing critical relief.
For tens of thousands of workers already living paycheck to paycheck, the wildfires have deepened instability. Latino workers, who hold over 35,000 jobs now at risk, bear a disproportionate burden despite making up only 23% of residents in evacuation zones. These workers are essential to rebuilding local economies, yet they lack protections like unemployment benefits and remote work options.
“Our domestic workers are the heart of Los Angeles, and now they’re among the hardest hit,” said Ruth Kennison, co-founder of Rise and Rebuild LA. “These events are about neighbors stepping up for neighbors, providing hope and tangible support.”

Making an Impact
Proceeds will benefit One Voice, a nonprofit with a 40-year legacy of helping Los Angeles families. Their new Fire Relief Fund offers critical financial assistance—rent, food, and essentials—to workers displaced by the fires.
“I was born and raised in Los Angeles, so this tragedy is personal. It’s important to me and so many others that Angelenos come together at this moment,” said Devora Rogers, Rise and Rebuild co-founder and event organizer. “Together, we can restore lives and strengthen our community,” said Rogers.
