UPDATE: The county brought in helicopters and several battalions of firefighters, including incarcerated firefighters, to protect the nearly 5,000 incarcerated people and staff of the jail until the fire was under control. Putting pressure on public officials works.
URGENT: The four north county jails are now in a mandatory evacuation zone due to the Hughes Fire‼️ We’ve alerted the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, but we need your help. Call the Board and demand an immediate evacuation OUTSIDE of the Hughes Fire evacuation zone.

UPDATE: The LA Sheriff's Department and Board of Supervisors have failed to evacuate at least 4,700 people who are incarcerated just five miles from a wildfire that broke out hours ago. The board must act NOW to save the lives of the people who are imprisoned.
The Hughes fire broke out a little before 11 a.m., roughly 5 miles north of the Pitchess Detention Center. The sheriff's department has struggled with a shortage of buses to transport inmates.

As we celebrate Veterans Day today, we think of the twenty-five veterans and their families that need us to act now. Take action and tell the Biden administration to protect our veterans from deportation:

Over the past three years, 120 deported veterans have finally returned home to the United States. But without a pardon from President Biden, most of these veterans will soon be at risk of deportation again by the upcoming Trump administration.
