f � f <br /> July 18, 2022 <br /> Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers <br /> Santa Ana, CA <br /> Re: Support for the repeal of the No Cruising Ban <br /> My name is Jovita Arellano, Co-chair of the United Lowrider Coalition (ULC). On behalf <br /> of the San Diego, CA United Lowrider Coalition (ULC), I am expressing our support of <br /> Councilmember Hernandez's request to repeal the city of Santa Ana's No Cruising Ban. <br /> ULC has been advocating for the repeal of the No Cruising Ordinance here in National <br /> City since January, 2021. Our coalition's pro-active approach is just one example of what <br /> government is required to do when communities make legitimate and heartfelt demands. <br /> The movement to end the cruising ban in Santa Ana will send a message to each and <br /> every lawmaker to repeal the No Cruising ordinances not only in your city, but to all cities in <br /> the state of California. As the lowrider groups come together and unite, this not only helps us, <br /> but shows that your vote to repeal will help us all move forward and have hope that this will <br /> change so many cities in California. <br /> ULC of San Diego is comprised of neighborhood leaders, lowrider car clubs and others <br /> who know all too well that anti-cruising really means, institutional racism. <br /> It's time to cruise towards a more responsible and respectful way for government to <br /> regulate and govern in a community that wants to speak for itself and to itself. We believe that <br /> your vote to repeal the ordinance promotes the same efforts advocated by ULC. <br /> Respectfully, <br /> Jovita Arellano <br /> Co-chair, United Lowrider Coalition <br />
