Orozco, Norma <br />From:Jesus Santana <Jesus.Santana.459817123@p2a.co> <br />Sent:Monday, June 14, 2021 2:50 PM <br />To:eComment <br />Subject:Defund the Police to Invest in Youth and Housing NOW! <br />Dear Santa Ana City Representatives, <br /> <br />The residents of Santa Ana need long-term solutions to address the compound effects of the pandemic. <br /> <br />I am calling on Santa Ana City representatives to break from the historical prioritization of policing in city budgets and <br />invest in robust social services for Santa Ana youth and residents, not more policing and suppression. Unfortunately, <br />Santa Ana Police Department receives the largest portion of city revenues. The city budget must prioritize the rights of <br />residents to live, remain, and thrive in their neighborhoods. <br /> <br />You should start by shifting resources to demonstrate to residents where their values truly lie and begin with the <br />following: <br /> <br />1. Invest in housing: The city must increase the tenant legal defense fund to protect their residents from eviction. The <br />city must establish and sustain a safety net for families to work towards a full recovery financially and improving food <br />and housing security including rental assistance, universal income regardless of immigration status, free child care. <br /> <br />2. Invest in youth: City council must redirect youth suppression spending into healthy youth development services, <br />programs and resources, such as mental health counselors, youth reentry programs, expungement clinics, teen mom <br />programs, and food cards for young people who don't have access to food. <br /> <br />We are watching your next decision and hope that you make the right choice. <br /> <br />Kind Regards, <br />Jesus Santana <br />2104 W Dahl Ln <br />Santa Ana, CA 92704 <http://admin.phone2action.com/email/open/leg/592017/117871423> <br />2 <br />
