As the protests across the US and in our city make urgently clear: Black lives matter, and <br />the issue of police violence and accountability are no longer up for debate. <br />⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ <br />I am emailing to support: <br />⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ <br />(1) Agenda Item 75A - Defund the Santa Ana Police Department so that no more of our money goes <br />to the PD. Instead, reinvest our money into our communities. It is unacceptable for the city to even <br />consider increasing public safety spending by $13.5 million during COVID-19 and economic crisis. <br />Renew the Deportation Defense Fund at its current level of $200,000 to continue providing protection <br />to Santa Ana residents facing detention and deportation. <br />⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ <br />(2) Agenda Item 85A - Establish a strong Civilian Police Oversight Commission with subpoena, <br />investigatory, and disciplinary powers <br /> <br /> <br />As your constituent, I hope you listen to my demands. <br />Best, <br /> <br /> <br />-- <br />Marco-Landon Siu (he/him/his & they/them/theirs) <br />Masters in Education <br />UC Los Angeles | Graduate Student <br />(510) 508-7790 | marcodomingosiu@gmail.com <br />1 <br />
