Send us a text

Eunisses Hernandez is the Councilmember representing District #1 in the City of Los Angeles. Her constituents live miles from both the Palisades and the Eaton Fires. No one in Council District #1 lost a home to fire. But many have lost jobs, employers, and even clean air to breathe.

Host Cameron Barrett sits down with Hernandez to discuss the ripple effects of the fires that have reached all the way to Council District #1 and how Hernandez is responding.
