The La Brea Tar Pits mobile museum made its historic first visit to the Antelope Valley today, bringing prehistoric fun and learning to 900 students at Quartz Hill Elementary School (Westside Union School District). The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County’s incredible educational programs allow kids to play interactive games, touch real fossils, and ask lots of questions to make their lessons stick like tar! 🦕

Today was the 19th annual VerdeXchange Conference, which serves as an important forum for leaders from across the public and private sectors to share ideas, foster collaboration, and accelerate solutions in energy, infrastructure, and climate resilience. Thank you to Consul General Murota (Consulate General of Japan in Los Angeles) for hosting and for your continued focus on strengthening collaboration between Japan and Los Angeles County on clean energy, sustainability, and innovation.

Just in time for the warm weekend weather, we celebrated a new partnership today at Raging Waters Los Angeles in the City of San Dimas, CA between the County of Los Angeles Department of Parks & Recreation and Lucky Strike Entertainment, reaffirming our shared commitment to making recreation accessible to our communities. With free admission today for residents, it was a perfect way to make a splash ahead of summer! ☀️

As we continue to rebuild Altadena, time spent together in the community is critical for residents to connect and heal. Today’s picnic showed a glimpse of normalcy and hope as residents gathered for food, games, music, and fun.

There’s no better way to start the day than with friends and flapjacks! What a joy to be with the Altadena community for the Altadena Rotary’s pancake breakfast at Grocery Outlet. 🥞

I'm committed to working with our community partners to take the guesswork out of rebuilding for Eaton Fire survivors. Through the Tonia Homes Initiative (a partnership between The Foothill Catalog Foundation, Williams Rebuild, and The Callahan Family Foundation), residents get access to a clear, streamlined rebuilding pathway in real time. These demonstration and exhibition homes will be open and accessible so Altadenans can learn about realistic costs, timelines, and construction to inform their own rebuild, ultimately decreasing costs, headaches, and the time it takes to get back home.

Today, we broke ground on Los Angeles County Fire Station 46 in the Santa Clarita Valley, serving the beautiful new Valencia Community. In North County especially, fire preparedness and emergency response are deeply connected to our neighborhoods' resilience. This new state-of-the-art station will ensure firefighters and paramedics can respond quickly when residents need it most.

Applications are still open for NCJW Los Angeles' grant program supporting renters impacted by the Eaton Fire. ⁠There will be 30 households randomly selected to receive $36,000 over 24 months through unrestricted monthly cash payments to support long-term recovery and stability.⁠ Learn more and apply here by May 29: ncjwla.org/resources/direct-cash-for-altadena-fire-recovery
