Open Air Worker Emergency Fund

During the ongoing wildfire emergency in Los Angeles County, Inclusive Action has launched a new emergency fund to help outdoor workers – street vendors, landscapers, and recyclers – impacted by the fires.

Through this fund, impacted outdoor workers can apply for one-time cash assistance support of $500. Recipients will receive cash payments on a first-come, first-served basis, and as funding allows.

To be eligible for funding, community members must meet all of the following qualifications:

  • Live or work in areas directly impacted by the fires

  • Primarily work outdoors, (e.g. as a street vendor, landscape worker, recycler, etc.)

  • Have experienced a loss of income/property/belongings due to fires

We will prioritize community members who experienced direct losses due to the fire. For questions about the application process, please contact our team at (213) 435-1151 or info@inclusiveaction.org


Apply by Friday, January 17 at 5 p.m. The emergency fund may reopen in the future if additional funding becomes available.

To help us increase the funds available to provide cash assistance to impacted outdoor workers, Inclusive Action is calling for donations for our Open Air Worker Emergency Fund.

We’re engaging individual donors and funders to contribute to this emergency assistance fund to put direct assistance into the hands of some of the most vulnerable workers impacted by the firesing raging through Los Angeles County.

**100% of donations to this fund will be distributed to applicants.
