Stop Fire Victim Exploitation

Fire victims in Los Angeles County are being preyed upon by opportunistic contractors, expeditors, and even public agencies during their most vulnerable moments. This petition demands immediate policy reforms to end exploitation, enforce pricing transparency, and protect families trying to rebuild after catastrophic loss.

Summary:
This petition calls on Los Angeles County, the City of Malibu, the California State Legislature, and regulatory agencies to take urgent action against the systemic exploitation of fire victims. Survivors of disasters like the Woolsey and Palisades Fires are facing inflated costs, broken promises, and predatory behavior from contractors and city-endorsed intermediaries. The City of Malibu’s reported collaboration with contractors further erodes public trust. The petition demands robust pricing regulations, independent oversight, and genuine community engagement to protect those already devastated by wildfire. Exploiting fire survivors for profit is not just unethical, it’s unacceptable.
