But there\u2019s SO MANY more that REALLY need your help.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been inspiring to see so many people come together as one to lift each other up, and I just want to highlight one aspect of the larger LA community in dire need.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Not enough is being done for the Black families and community in the aftermath of the California fires.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I\u2019ve partnered up with GoFundMe and the Black Music Action Coalition to create ONE main GoFundMe campaign to immediately help those in need.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I urge not only Black artists and musicians and creators, but EVERYONE to come together and continue to help those in still in desperate need.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe GoFundMe has already raised over $44,000.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe description for the page reads: &#8220;As a community-rooted effort, Community Aid Dena, AFROPUNK, and WalkGood LA came together to amplify the GoFundMe Campaigns of Black families displaced by the Eaton Fire, through a consolidated list entitled Displaced Black Families GoFundMe Directory.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Powered by Flavor Flav, this fundraiser further amplifies the collective efforts to generate funds in support of Black families as they navigate displacement, loss of income, grief, essential needs in the short-term as they seek to rebuild.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nMeanwhile, this week Zoe Salda\u00f1a spent Martin Luther King Jr. Day (20.01.25) assisting volunteers in handing out supplies to victims of the Eaton Fire.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe 46-year-old &#8216;Emilia Perez&#8217; star was doing her bit to support the residents of Pasadena and Altadena, who were left displaced by the blaze, by helping the National Day Laborer Organizing Network with their relief efforts and admitted they were in desperate need of more everyday essentials to offer locals impacted by the disaster.<\/p>\n<p>\nIn a video shared to Instagram, Zoe said:  \u201cWe\u2019re here at the Pasadena Job Center \u2014 I\u2019m here with the team organizers. We are in dire need of a lot of items that are running out. The lines here of cars and people that are coming is incredible.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThe support is incredible, but we need more. So if you guys can help, we are here right now.
