Hi all –

As wildfires continue to threaten communities in California, please see some social guidance making the explicit tie between more dangerous wildfires and climate change as well as comments from a fire scientist refuting President Trump’s statements about wildfire. This language is meant to be adaptable – feel free to change to fit your organization’s voice and tone.

If your organization is looking to point members toward ways to donate to victims of the fire, we recommend looking into the North Valley Community Foundation and the California Community Foundation as potential recipients. Please let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks,

Marcy
