To the people of Los Angeles, amidst the wildfires

To the people of Los Angeles,

Our thoughts are with you in these unimaginably challenging times. From the shores of Mono Lake to the vibrant heart of Los Angeles, we stand with you.

Though separated by distance, we are profoundly connected.

We share water, a lifeline, lifeblood—essential for drinking and wildlife, for health and habitat, and for the places we love and the places we call home. From water springs life, and the greater Mono Lake community that is rooted in the places, people, and communities now ravaged by wildfire. We are all in this together.

To our Los Angeles members and friends,

Our hearts are with you. Your courage in the face of adversity inspires us, and we remain dedicated to creating a safe, and bright future at both ends of the Los Angeles Aqueduct. You are not alone.

To Los Angeles community and civic leaders,

We send our unwavering support as you navigate the difficult days ahead. Extreme challenges remind us of the essential balance we strive to protect—and the importance of community in building resilience.

To the firefighters and first responders,

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Please stay safe.
