Flores, Dora <br />From: Maleikaii Alforque < <br />Sent: Tuesday, September 17, 2024 6:42 PM <br />To: eComment <br />Subject: Agenda item 21 <br />Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br />My name is Malei'kaii Alforque, I am a formerly incarcerated member of Underground Grit which is a non <br />profit, and re-entry program. Underground Grit has helped me by overcoming the obstacles I never thought I <br />would even see myself in, overcoming my drug addiction, and giving me amazing opportunities in life. The <br />reason I am here today is because I am against prop 36. <br />One of the reasons I say no to prop 36 is because Increasing prison sentences may reduce savings for mental <br />health and drug treatment programs, k-12 schools, and crime victims. Not only that but prop 36 will only lead to <br />more crime. Reigniting the failed war on drugs makes simple drug possession a felony and wastes billions of <br />dollars on prisons, while slashing crucial funding for victims, crime prevention treatment, and rehabilitation. <br />So I hope you vote NO to Agenda item 21. Thank you. <br />
