It is at the Los Angeles Dodgers stadium, in MLB, that Gavin Newsomthe governor of California, launched the reconstruction of the “City of Angels” After the fires that killed at least 29 people, and destroyed thousands of homes and buildings, forcing tens of thousands of inhabitants to leave their homes.
But the elected democrat did not choose the Dodger Stadium by chance, because it is the owners of the baseball franchise who will be at the head of the philanthropic organization, “the rises”, which will guide the reconstruction.
As a co-owner of the MLB franchise, Magic Johnson will thus be at the top of the organization, alongside the president of the club, Mark Walterand Casey Wassermanin charge of the organization of the 2028 Olympics. The group has thus promised to invest at least $ 100 million in the “Renaissance of Los Angeles”.
The former legend of the Lakers will focus on Altadena, where many black families have moved, generation after generation, in the face of discriminatory practices that had runs elsewhere in the megalopolis.
“I will focus on Altadena because these people may be left behind and I want to make sure that does not happen”explained Magic Johnson, while Casey Wasserman assures that you have to think in the long term. “This route that we are about to start with” the rises “does not concern the month or the coming year. This is to know what Los Angeles will look like in the next 50 or 100 years. ”
