Orozco, Norma <br />From: Julia Hernandez <julia.e.hernandez.v@gmail.com> <br />Sent: Tuesday, June 16, 2020 3:59 PM <br />To: eComment <br />Subject: Agenda item 75A <br />Good afternoon Santa Ana city council, <br />My name is Julia Hernandez, <br />I'm a resident of Santa Ana, and I'm calling on Mayor Pulido and the Santa Ana City Council to end <br />police violence and support the Movement for Black Lives by cutting police spending, investing in <br />Santa Ana communities, enacting meaningful police accountability, transparency, and civilian <br />oversight. Santa Ana deserves meaningful systemic change. <br />It is time to stop militarizing the Police and begin funding other response and prevention <br />and programs. Establishing strong mental health, employment assistance, affordable housing, job <br />training, personal development programs and investing into education to retain quality educators will <br />help decrease police intervention in certain cases. The establishment or funding of these programs, <br />will ensure that citizens of Santa Ana are receiving the services and care they need. As opposed to <br />being criminalized for simply seeking to survive. <br />I trust you will consider my comments and stand with the people that elected you into office. <br />Thank you, <br />Julia Hernandez <br />All the best, <br />Julia Hernandez <br />B.S Child and Adolescent Development <br />Union Institute and University <br />Cell: (657)294-7611 <br />
