Karol G has unveiled special merch dedicated to the city of Los Angeles, with all proceeds set to go towards wildfire relief efforts.
The Colombian hitmaker joins artists like Chiquis, Fuerza Regida and Peso Pluma, to name a few, who’ve used their platform to express solidarity with the community of L.A. which, since last week, has been devastated by blazing fires that have displaced thousands of Angelenos.
“LA, you are in my heart,” Karol G wrote in a post shared on her Karol G Merch Instagram page. “At Con Cora Foundation, we have joined forces with I Scream Color to create two pieces that represents solidarity with the people affected by one of the most devastating wildfires in California’s history. 100% of the artists proceeds will be donated to the YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles to support the individuals, families and resources impacted. This is an act of love and gratitude for a city that means so much to me and to all of us. Together, we can make a difference. Let’s unite and show Los Angeles that it’s in our hearts.”
The merch, a $120 hoodie and $40 tote bag, are now available for purchase here.
In the past week, thousands of houses and structures burned and more than 100,000 people evacuated due to the wildfires. At the time of publication, over 170,000 people remain under an evacuation order or warning in L.A. County, according to CNN.
For health alerts, evacuation updates and additional shelter information as the wildfire battle continues, go to L.A. County’s emergency website. Musicians and music industry professionals who are affected can get details about assistance here.
