Lesson: The Fire Is Over, The Fight Isn’t.

Not every home in Altadena burned to the ground—but that doesn’t mean every family made it home. In Episode 5, we meet Stacie Bolden, whose house survived the Eaton Fire—but remains unlivable. Months later, she’s still locked in a cycle of red tape, adjusting to a new way of life she never saw coming.

We also hear from nationally renowned Civil Rights Attorney Lee Merritt, who grew up nearby in Pasadena. He shares his personal connection to the fire, what community organizing looks like in a time of crisis, and why rebuilding goes far beyond bricks and permits.
