In his daily briefing Thursday, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti highlighted some of the partnerships the city has established to respond to the coronavirus pandemic.

One of those partners is Community Organized Relief Effort, a nonprofit organization founded by actor and philanthropist Sean Penn in 2010 after an earthquake devastated Haiti. “In Los Angeles, CORE has stepped up with volunteers to grow our testing capacity,” Garcetti said.

According to the mayor, CORE has provided almost 70 staff to run four of the city’s 30 testing sites ensuring those sites can operate while freeing up firefighter/paramedics from the Los Angeles Fire Department to focus on emergency response work. “This is a very unique situation for us,” Penn said.
