Long <br />time Santa Ana residents, working families and elders, and young people from different cultural backgrounds <br />advocated for a policy that could lessen the stress of not being able to afford rent. It was a struggle against <br />uncertainty. <br />After so many philosophical battles, today this ordinance is one of the best rent stabilization and just cause <br />ordinance in the whole state. It is a good example of a policy that not only helps with rent control, but also it <br />helps with reduction of unfair evictions. The ordinance also represents participatory democracy where <br />everyone's voice was taken into account. It is historical. <br />Please consider adopting the amendment so that Santa Ana keeps protecting our vulnerable population. <br />Sincerely, <br />Thank you. <br />Gema Sudrez (She/They) <br />Organizing & Campaign Coordinator <br />elcentroculturaldemexico. orq <br />
