Kim Kardashian Pushes For Incarcerated Firefighters To Be Paid More Amid LA Blazes
HuffPost
Kardashian called incarcerated firefighters "heroes" as she asked Gov. Gavin Newsom to lift wages for those "risking their life to save our lives and homes."
Kim Kardashian is advocating for higher wages for the hundreds of incarcerated firefighters currently battling multiple wildfires that have flared up around Los Angeles.
In a lengthy multipost statement on her Instagram Story, the reality TV star and advocate for criminal justice reform thanked those risking their lives to battle the blazes while pushing California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) to change laws that cap pay for incarcerated firefighters.
“I have spent the last week watching my city burning,” Kardashian’s posts began. “And have seen and spoken to many firefighters who are up all night long using every ounce of their strength to save our community.”
Among those on the front lines are the more than 900 incarcerated people getting paid sub-minimum wage while facing deadly conditions to save people and property across Southern California.
According to the California education news outlet EdSource, that number includes 29 youth who are part of a disaster relief training program first piloted by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation in 2023.
