How to Support Adult Creators Impacted by the LA Fires
The widespread and catastrophic LA Fires have destroyed many parts of the city, leaving thousands of residents without homes or access to essential supplies needed to survive this devastating tragedy. While our brave and dedicated firefighters tirelessly work towards containing the relentless blazes, hundreds of selfless volunteers and numerous aid organizations have mobilized promptly to assist those grappling with loss, uncertainty, and the urgent need for help.
Notably, mutual aid groups within the adult industry have been hard at work to provide much-needed support during this challenging time. We’ve compiled a few resources that you can contribute to, which will directly benefit sex workers and adult creators who have been significantly impacted by this disaster.
