Please consider supporting these fantastic Black-owned small business book sellers. Particular shout out to Octavia's Bookshelf, operated in wildfire-impacted Altadena!
The L.A. wildfires disproportionately impact BIPOC, immigrant, LGBTQIA+, and disabled communities. Bet Tzedek is proud to celebrate the spaces that uplift BIPOC communities like Octavia’s Bookshelf and Reparations Club (Rep Club). Get help here: https://t.co/claMhpSvVf

Unfortunately, many unscrupulous landlords are attempting to take advantage of the desperation caused by the L.A. wildfires. Here is what you can do if you're being targeted. Story link in bio. #housingnews #housingjustice #tenantrights
