Orozco, Norma <br /> From: Marisa Rosales <marisa49bomb@yahoo.com> <br /> Sent: Monday, July 18, 2022 11:38 AM <br /> To: eComment <br /> Subject: No Cruising Ordinance <br /> Dear Santa Ana City Counsel, <br /> My name is Marisan Rosales, I live in National City, CA, I am a Co-Chair with the United Lowrider Coalition, I am a <br /> member of Dukes Car Club, and a Social Worker with the County of San Diego by trade. <br /> I write to you today with a Plea for you to demonstrate true Leadership and Repeal the No Cruising Ordinance in your city. <br /> We do not need laws that disenfranchise entire cultures. In the times that we are living in today we need our communities <br /> to be United and all individuals to feel Accepted. The No Cruising Ordinances are discriminatory they target people of <br /> color, they send a message that these people are "Bad". When in contrary, we are your constituents, we Vote, we are <br /> Professionals in many trades, we own Homes, we pay Taxes. Lowriders are always one of the first groups to come out <br /> and give back to the community when a need arises. <br /> I am a Lowrider by Heart; I stand with my Lowrider brothers and sisters in Solidarity in this struggle to be able to practice <br /> our culture without being criminalized for it. <br /> Please, Repeal the No Cruising Ordinance, it is rooted in racism the Penal Code and Vehicle Code are Vast enough tools <br /> for your Police Department to fulfill their duties efficiently, there is no need for a law that Criminalizes a Beautiful Culture <br /> as Lowriding is. <br /> Thank You for your time <br /> Respectfully, <br /> Marisa Rosales <br /> 1 <br />
