Adding r/California_Politics, r/Norcal, r/Centralvalley to the list of California's subreddits happy to join the effort. I'm proud to see so many communities coming together to support Los Angeles.

Huge thanks to the r/LosAngeles mods for this initiative and to all the subreddits already on board! United, we can make a real difference for those affected.
