Americans First

The city of Los Angeles is in crisis. Tens of thousands of Americans have lost their homes due to rising homelessness, devastating wildfires, and unaffordable housing. The city is struggling, and the resources to assist those in need are insufficient. Families are living in shelters, in cars, or on the streets, while the government continues to send billions of dollars overseas.

We are not against helping others, but we believe charity begins at home. It’s time to prioritize the well-being of American citizens who are suffering in our communities. The billions in aid sent to Ukraine and Israel could instead fund programs to provide housing, mental health services, job training, and infrastructure improvements in the United States.

America’s strength lies in its people, and we cannot afford to neglect our own citizens in favor of international priorities. Los Angeles is burning, figuratively and literally, and we need leadership that puts Americans first.

We call on President Donald Trump to take action and make a strong statement by redirecting these funds to address the urgent needs of Americans. Let’s invest in rebuilding lives, communities, and hope within our nation.
