Flores, Dora <br />From:Rebecca Pasillas <pasillas.rebecca@gmail.com> <br />Sent:Tuesday, February <br />To:eComment <br />Subject:Item 21 Comment <br /> Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br />Good evening mayor and council members, <br /> <br />My name is Rebecca pasillas, Santa Ana resident and daughter of Mexican immigrants. I come here tonight in <br />support of agenda item 21. Reconvening the sanctuary policy advisory group would effectively strengthen the <br />city’s protection of our neighbors. We are yet again living through an administration that seeks to dehumanize, <br />harm and incite fear in our communities. Our city must pass policy that protects our residents regardless of <br />status so we can all continue living in this city with dignity and peace of mind. The policy advisory group <br />would be able to focus and collaborate on these protections efficiently if reconvened. Absorbing these policies <br />into other committees would be impractical and creates room for error at a delicate time. Being a first <br />generation Latina, I felt my parent’s sacrifice throughout my upbringing and instilled in me respect and <br />empathy for the people in my community. I now urge the empathy of this council to respect the sacrifices of <br />those like my parents and reconvene this policy group and defend sanctuary in our beautiful city. <br />Thank you, <br />Rebecca Pasillas <br /> <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />
