They Let Us Burn – Traci Park

On January 7, 2026, exactly one year after the catastrophic Palisades Fire, residents rallied in the heart of the Pacific Palisades to demand accountability for a total breakdown in prevention, precaution and leadership from the City of Los Angeles, State of California, LADWP, LA Fire Officials, California State Parks, California Natural Resources Agency, state/local agencies, Governor Newsom, and Mayor Bass. Despite promises of action, city and state leadership and agencies have delivered little real progress, with limited vision or a clear plan paired with great uncertainty.

This speech is from Traci Park (Los Angeles City Councilmember, District 11).
