Kim Kardashian is again leaping to defend the incarcerated and those she sees as unjustly treated by the U.S. government, this time advocating for incarcerated firemen in an Instagram Story posted over the weekend explaining how they are risking their lives to save the Los Angeles community for just $1 an hour.

Kim Kardashian is calling attention to the many incarcerated firefighters who are battling the flames that have overtaken Los Angeles, praising those on the front lines and urging Gov. Gavin Newsom to increase their wages.

Kardashian’s statement went on, “The incarcerated firefighters have been paid $1/hour to risk their lives, and this pay has been the same since 1984. It has never been raised with inflation. It’s never been raised when fires got worse and many died.”

Kim Kardashian is using her massive platform to bring attention to a relatively unknown and overlooked group of firefighters battling the devastating Los Angeles fires. “I have spent the last week watching my city burning.

The Skims co-founder said there was a recent agreement to raise incarcerated firefighters' pay to $5 an hour "but it got shot down last minute."
