Flores, Dora <br />From: Vered Rubin < <br />Sent: Sunday, March 3, 2024 7:07 PM <br />To: Amezcua, Valerie; Lopez, Jessie; Phan, Thai; Bacerra, Phil; Penaloza, David <br />Subject: Thank you for your continued integrity and vigilant dedication to public service <br />Dear Councilmembers <br />As a member of the local Jewish community, I ask you to oppose the Ceasefire Resolution listed as Agenda <br />Item 918 of March 5, 2024, Santa Ana City Council meeting. <br />No one wants the war between Israel and Hamas to continue. We are all watching the international media for <br />news of a negotiated peace that acknowledges Israelis' and Palestinians' right to exist in peace. This resolution <br />does not express such sentiment. <br />I am also very concerned that community members demanding this resolution have seemed to target <br />councilmembers. Councilmembers who have opposed ceasefire resolutions have been subjected to harassment <br />and threats. No elected official should be ridiculed or targeted for a vote they made in their official <br />capacities. Your continued integrity and vigilant dedication to public service should never be sacrificed nor <br />should your safety ever be threatened. You have shown unparalleled courage at an unprecedented time. Thank <br />you for being the standard bearers of responsible government. <br />Santa Ana has long been considered a crucial community hub in Orange County. Your work on the council has <br />been a beacon for unity and a voice for progress. Please do not let the loudest voices in the room derail your <br />commitment to Santa Ana specifically or to participatory democracy in general. <br />Please reject Agenda Item 918 and oppose all further discussion of items that are outside the jurisdiction of the <br />City of Santa Ana. <br />Sent from my iPhone <br />
