YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Homeowners, renters who lost their homes in the Eaton Fire, and family members who have lost loved ones are suing the electric company, Southern California Edison.

The family of 59-year-old Evelyn McClendon says Edison failed to turn off utilities despite clear warnings about extremely dangerous fire conditions, leading to catastrophic consequences. The Eaton fire has killed at least 16 people and damaged or destroyed more than 7,000 structures.

Civil rights attorney Ben Crump and McClendon's brother, Zaire Calvin spoke with Roland Martin about the California wildfire crisis.
