I’ve been a resident of Santa Ana for 12 years. <br />I’m calling in solidarity with a big nationwide movement to rethink public safety by defunding the police and <br />reinvesting in our communities. <br />Please join us in re-imagining and re-prioritizing public safety funding to community wellness investments that <br />create the real conditions for real safety. Safety is increased when people have access to their basic needs. We <br />need to invest in, housing security, food security, libraries, and education, coronavirus rental relief and the <br />deportation defense fund. <br />A budget reflects a community’s priorities. Please shift the priorities of the budget to invest in community <br />wellness instead of harsh punishment. <br />Black lives matter, <br />Thank you, <br />Julie Herrick <br />1 <br />
