Sarah Golden x Nathan K. reflect on community and renewal in “Who is Gonna Rebuild LA”

Sarah Golden and Nathan K respond to devastation in ''Who is Gonna Rebuild LA,'' a reflective song written during the 2025 palisades fire. The song asks what rebuilding really means after a community and its sense of place have been shaken, and expands the meaning to include belonging, history, and solidarity. Its message acknowledges indigenous peoples as the original caretakers of the land and highlights immigrant groups that still define American life. The song reimagines rebuilding as a collective responsibility rather than a physical restoration, remembering, helping our neighbors, and dreaming of a new day from the ashes.
