To the editor: The entrance web page of the Jan. 15 Los Angeles Occasions featured articles all associated to the fires in and around Los Angeles. The second web page featured two long narratives about President-elect Donald Trump.
These are the 2 largest information tales in our metropolis, and they need to be. That mentioned, I counsel that town and county of Los Angeles invite Trump on a pre-inauguration go to to Southern California — to not survey the damages, however to witness the folks of those resilient cities reaching out to 1 one other to supply assist.
Persons are doing all the pieces from giving shelter to offering pet meals. These tales are inspiring, and they need to fly solidly into the face of Trump, who ran his marketing campaign by stitching the seeds of mistrust and concern.
Proper now, we aren’t shopping for that in L.A. As a substitute, there’s brotherhood that may be simply discovered on this caring place. Trump must see that. After his go to, he ought to check with what’s going on right here in his inaugural tackle.
What’s transpiring on this nice metropolis is really inspirational. We Angelenos are additionally People who arise for each other, no matter our variations.
