Renowned actor Sean Penn recently commended the disaster relief centers in Los Angeles for their crucial role in aiding wildfire relief efforts. During a news conference held by Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, Penn expressed his immediate impression of the centers, describing them as 'so essential' in providing vital information and assistance to residents affected by the wildfires.
Penn, who has been actively involved with the relief organization CORE (Community Organized Relief Effort) since the onset of the wildfires, emphasized the importance of addressing the immediate needs of residents, particularly in terms of cash assistance. He highlighted the collaborative efforts between CORE, the City of Los Angeles, and the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) during the COVID-19 response and reiterated the commitment to continued partnership in addressing the current fire disaster.
Reflecting on the accessibility and support offered by the disaster relief centers, Penn underscored the significance of providing assistance to individuals who may not know how to navigate the process of seeking help for their losses. He emphasized the simplicity of accessing the centers and extended the call for community members to assist those in need by guiding them to the centers.
As a testament to his dedication to supporting the community during times of crisis, Penn's involvement with CORE and his advocacy for the disaster relief centers exemplify the spirit of solidarity and mutual aid in times of need.
