With a new project entitled \u201cFaith Under Fire,\u201d the\u00a0Center for Religion and Civic Culture (CRCC) and the\u00a0Equity Research Institute (ERI) at USC\u00a0are partnering to study the reconstruction of the Los Angeles region\u2019s social fabric following the 2025 wildfires. By examining the intersection of faith communities and social justice movements in the wake of the fires, the project will draw lessons for both future recovery efforts and longer-term incorporation of community and faith voices in L.A.\u2019s civic life.<\/p>\n

While\u00a0much\u00a0attention has focused on real estate developers buying property in Altadena and the Pacific Palisades, grassroots efforts have sought to ensure that residents who suffered the most\u2014including those who lost homes and properties as well as immigrant and other workers who lost livelihoods\u2014are at the center of recovery efforts.<\/p>\n

Faith\u00a0organizations and social justice networks organized immediate relief efforts, even as\u00a0more than a dozen houses of worship<\/a>\u00a0were destroyed or damaged.\u00a0LA Voice<\/a>\u00a0and other partners organized one of the first\u00a0attempts to bring together residents from both Pacific Palisades and Altadena to find common ground. Such groups are continuing to work for\u00a0equity in recovery efforts, for instance, by advocating on behalf of distressed renters and displaced workers. Organizing around the wildfires also has intersected with community responses to the Trump administration\u2019s stepped-up immigration raids.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis research could point to the ways that the faith and community sectors could\u00a0contribute to a more cooperative approach to recovery and better resilience<\/strong>\u00a0against future disasters \u2014 both natural and man-made,\u201d says \u200bRichard Flory, CRCC\u2019s executive director and the project\u2019s co-leader.<\/p>\n

The project represents a moment of coming full circle for CRCC and ERI. Both have watched faith and organizing networks develop since Los Angeles\u2019 1992 civil unrest (read\u00a0\u201cLA Rising\u201d<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0from ERI and\u00a0\u201cThirty Years Later\u201d<\/a>\u00a0from CRCC). The John Randolph Haynes and Dora Haynes Foundation, which is funding this \u201cresearch-to-action\u201d grant under its Governance and Democracy Initiative, has previously supported both organizations\u2019 work in this area.<\/p>\n

In 1992, Los Angeles burned following the acquittal of four police officers caught on camera beating Black motorist Rodney King and the suspended sentence for the convicted killer of Latasha Harlins, a 15-year-old Black girl. Pastors who were veterans of the civil rights movement organized their congregations to respond to both protesters and civic leaders, pressing for solutions to the underlying causes of the violence.<\/p>\n

The result was the development of\u00a0new relationships and coalitions within the many faith communities of Los Angeles, that often transcended\u00a0the traditional liberal\/conservative faith divide. Today, those networks have developed beyond what was planted in 1992, and have altered the civic landscape, working for local economic development, better working conditions, community-oriented policing, and protection of immigrant rights.<\/p>\n

Many public agencies now recognize the necessity of engaging with the variety of faith communities to get their buy-in for programs\u00a0and\u00a0policies intended to improve the lives of\u00a0those historically excluded.\u00a0Yet, as recently seen with the opposition to the immigration raids in June 2025, faith-led groups are still not recognized as full partners in these efforts.\u00a0This project intends to identify a clear, systematized way\u00a0to include their knowledge and moral perspective in local governance.<\/p>\n

Like 1992, the 2025 wildfires present a key moment for organizers and faith communities. \u201cWhat happens in the next year \u2014 and the shift from immediate relief to long-term goals \u2014\u00a0can set the stage for decades<\/strong>,\u201d says\u00a0project co-lead \u200bManuel Pastor, distinguished professor of Sociology and American Studies & Ethnicity and director of ERI.<\/p>\n

The Rev. Zachary Hoover, executive director of LA Voice, agrees. He looks to both CRCC and ERI to help his team of faith-based organizers and support staff understand their unique roles. This kind of research, he notes, is \u201ctoo rare\u201d but impactful.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis study is needed to understand our sector and\u00a0move it toward even greater capacity for the good of all our region\u2019s residents<\/strong>,\u201d Hoover says.<\/p>\n
