How B Corps Are Taking Action for LA Wildfire Relief The devastating wildfires in Southern California have impacted countless lives—destroying homes, businesses, and neighborhoods. As our community works toward recovery, the B Corp movement is stepping up to provide relief and long-term support. During a Jan. 21 Town Hall, B Local LA and B Lab U.S. & Canada convened B Corps, partners, and individuals to organize outreach efforts, share resources, and discuss how businesses can lead with climate justice and resilience at the core of their operations. 🔥 How You Can Help & Where to Find Support: Find a full list of resources here - https://lnkd.in/e9BEehAj Speakers emphasized that recovery is a long-term effort. While immediate needs include food and shelter, displaced families will require ongoing support in the months—and even years—to come. 💬 “Each and every one of us has a role here. The impact is amazing when we collectively come together.” Thank you to everyone who has stepped up in this time of crisis. Let’s continue to support our neighbors and build a more resilient, equitable future—together. 💙 B Lab US & Canada Article - https://lnkd.in/gtnygfV9 #BCorp #ClimateAction #LAFireRelief #CommunitySupport
