Zuniga, Diana From: Dorian Romero <noreply@adv.actionnetwork.org> Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2025 1:54 PM To: eComment Subject: Hire an Independent Director for the Santa Ana Police Oversight Commission Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links. Santa Ana City Council, Santa Ana City Council and City Manager Alvaro Nunez, As a concerned resident of Santa Ana, I am calling on you to take immediate action to restore the integrity of our Police Oversight Commission by hiring an Independent Director without further delay. The commission was created to ensure transparency, accountability, and justice in policing but for nearly years, it has been paralyzed due to the City's failure to fill the Director role. In the meantime, Santa Ana police officers have shot and killed multiple residents. Without a Director, the commission cannot investigate these incidents or respond to community complaints. The Director is essential for initiating investigations, issuing subpoenas, and producing public reports —core functions that empower the Commission to hold the police department accountable. The one-year legal deadline for launching investigations is quickly approaching, risking the loss of any path toward accountability. These delays are not just bureaucratic oversights — they have real and devastating consequences. Families are grieving, communities are demanding justice, and trust in local government continues to erode. I urge you to act now: immediately appoint an Independent Director and ensure that funding for the position is preserved in the upcoming budget. Santa Ana's residents have waited long enough — the time to fulfill the purpose of the Police Oversight Ordinance is now.

Immigration raids and military presence hurting economy in Santa Ana, employers say I abc7.com https://share.google/bgxYCSJ IXA4SD95T8 SANTA ANA, Calif (KABC) -- Business owners throughout Santa Ana said the presence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers, ongoing raids and the presence of the National Guard have hurt sales as a large part of the community stays home in fear. The presence of the National Guard outside the Ronald Reagan Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse downtown has brought demonstrators to the area and kept customers away. The loss has been very noticeable for Laura Diaz, the owner of the restaurant Perla. Diaz said she has seen about a 90% drop in business because of fear in her community caused by ongoing immigration raids throughout Orange County and the military presence directly in front of her restaurant since Monday night. Tuesday morning, the calls started coming in. An event on the second floor and a large reservation, a table for a party of 25, were canceled. Diaz said Santa Ana is a city with a large immigrant population, and all of the disturbances created by the presence of ICE and the raids have left the entire community shaken."

Use caution when opening attachments or links. Dear Mayor and Members of the Santa Ana City Council, My name is Kirk Carlson, and I'm a retired U.S. Marine and the founder of Covenant of Courage, a nonprofit dedicated to protecting the dignity and rights of injured veterans through advocacy, education, and policy reform. I respectfully submit the following public comment for your review and consideration: Public Comment — Endorsement Request for #ReasonableRanks Veteran Advocacy Campaign Each year, thousands of service members are involuntarily discharged after sustaining injuries in training or non -combat settings not for misconduct, but because they are deemed non - deployable. Current military policies offer no reassignment path, even for those still capable of serving in support or administrative roles. The #ReasonableRanks campaign seeks to reform this system by aligning military discharge practices with ADA protections and Equal Protection Clause standards, ensuring that injured but capable troops are not unfairly removed from service. The City of Corona recently issued a formal Letter of Support for the campaign (attached), recognizing that this issue affects military families across Southern California. We are now requesting the same from the City of Santa Ana, a city known for its strong commitment to equity, inclusion, and veteran support. Attachments: • City of Corona Endorsement Letter Campaign One -Pager Overview Petition: https://chng.it/5yXYvkBtMR I respectfully ask the Council to place this item on a future agenda for discussion and potential endorsement. Your leadership would help elevate a cause that speaks directly to the dignity of service and the moral obligation we share to protect those who've volunteered to protect us. Thank you for your time, consideration, and public service. Respectfully submitted, Kirk Carlson Founder & Executive Director, Covenant of Courage kirkbcarlsonacovenantofcourage.com (323) 471-7279 www.ReasonableRanks.org I www.CovenantOfCourage.com OFFICE OF THE MAYOR June 10, 2025 RE: Letter of Support for the #ReasonableRanks Campaign To Whom it May Concern: On behalf of the City of Corona, I write to express our support for the #ReasonableRanks campaign —an important, community -led effortto reform military discharge policies and ensure that injured service members are treated with dignity, fairness, and the opportunity to continue serving in meaningful ways. As leaders of the City of Corona, we hold deep respect for the men and women who step forward to serve our nation. Yettoo often, service members injured during training are quietly discharged —without the chance to heal, to serve in a new capacity, orto access the benefits they've earned. Corona is proud to be home to many veterans and military families. We understand that service comes in many forms, and we believe military policy should reflect thattruth. The #ReasonableRanks campaign isn't just about policy reform —it's about restoring dignity. That's why the City of Corona Council fully supports Covenant of Courage's efforts and the #ReasonableRanks campaign. This initiative aligns deeply with our values: fairness, respect, and honoring the service of all who give their best, regardless of when or how they are injured. We proudly join the growing call for a more inclusive and compassionate military personnel system. We urge leaders at every level of government to embrace the goals of #ReasonableRanks and work toward policies that ensure no service member is left behind because their injury came before deployment. �_ Jim Steiner Mayor, City of Corona City of Corona • 400 S.

We are receiving services are Clarvida Wellness Centers. These are funded by the County of Orange. We are Disabled and live with Mental Health Challenges. We are unable to to advocate for ourselves. We are being forced to participate in "pride" activity against our will. We are forced to use they/them pronouns to appease gender -confused Clarvida employees like this one here, whose name is Danielle "Dax" Gonzalez. Employees are paid through Medi-Cal and County, State and Federal Medicaid programs, so they are supposed to list their full names, but they don't. https://www.wellnesscentersouth.org/staff-bios/ Many of these Clarvida employees push their own sexual agenda upon us, and relentlessly so. There is no way for us to opt out. A Clarvida employee named Jason Stentz was in a video saying Christianity is responsible for slavery and violence against women. https://www.wellnesscentersouth.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/WCS-Peer-Specialist-Lead-Groups-rev.- 7.18.24.pdf We are counting on you to speak up for us and especially to mobilize on our behalf. Thank you so much for your compassion. We need you NOW!!! Please advocate for us, we need your help to shut down this event sos Please see the below article https://www.theblaze.com/columns/opinioWpride-flies-a-flag-why-dont-the-other- deadly-sins- get -one Pride flies a flag why don't the other deadly sins get one? Albin Sadar June 15, 2025 We don't throw a parade for envy or gluttony. So why do we elevate pride to the level of national celebration, protected speech, and sacred cow? The first sign of spring is said to be the appearance of a robin. That sign is followed by the first sign that June has arrived: a Pride flag, festooned with what seems to be an ever-increasing number of colors and symbols, hoisted up the flagpole, right under (or alongside) Old Glory. For as long as most folks living in a civil society can remember, pride and lust have been counted among the infamous list known as the seven deadly sins. The list varies slightly in order and phrasing, but they are: lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, and pride. To my knowledge, only "pride" has a flag designed specifically to celebrate its practice. However, the Pride flag doesn't just encompass pride it glorifies lust too even though you can attach the spirit of pride to any of the other bad behaviors found on the infamous list. Of course, the Ten Commandments outline the evil of all of these sins, warning of the danger of being controlled by them. Pride, along with the other deadly sins, is spiritually dangerous and it often carries psychological and physical consequences too. Flags, of course, are symbolic and used to unite those of similar viewpoint and allegiance. But we are aware that they can also rally people to lethal ends. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Arthur Schaper <Arthur o massresistance. org> Date: Wednesday, June 11, 2025 Subject: CA MassResistance to the Orange County Supervisors: Shut Down LGBT Pride Promotions at Clarvida Wellness Center To: "Donald.Wa ner ocgov.com" <Donald.Wa ner ocgov.com>, "Fourth.

We are an international pro -family organization that has been fighting the LGBT agenda for over thirty years. Members of the Clarvida Wellness Center in Orange County have become increasingly alarmed and outraged by all the pro-LGBT programming shoved on them and everyone else in the center. I have received documentation of all this propaganda being forced on the staff and members. See attached. I understand that the OC Board of Supervisors has already banned the presentation of so-called "pride" flags on county properties. I urge the county to enforce these regulations at the Clarvida Wellness Center as well since this facility operates within the Orange County Health Department. No one should be forced to look at the promotion of LGBT perversion and destruction. These behaviors are inherently harmful, cut individual lifespans by an average of 20%, and contribute to a number of mental health problems. These comorbidities occur even in the most LGBT affirming countries, by the way, so the pathologies do not result from societal stigma or persecution. It's time to do what is best for all patients in the Clarvida Wellness Center. All this LGBT propaganda needs to be removed.

Use caution when opening attachments or links. Dear Residents of the Cities of Huntington Beach, Santa Ana, Anaheim, Orange and Tustin. Please help us ! We are receiving services are Clarvida Wellness Centers. These are funded by the County of Orange. We are Disabled and live with Mental Health Challenges. We are unable to to advocate for ourselves. We are being forced to participate in "pride" activity against our will. We are forced to use they/them pronouns to appease gender -confused Clarvida employees like this one here, whose name is Danielle "Dax" Gonzalez. Employees are paid through Medi-Cal and County, State and Federal Medicaid programs, so they are supposed to list their full names, but they don't. https://www.wellnesscentersouth.org/staff-bios/ Many of these Clarvida employees push their own sexual agenda upon us, and relentlessly so. There is no way for us to opt out. A Clarvida employee named Jason Stentz was in a video saying Christianity is responsible for slavery and violence against women. https://www.wellnesscentersouth.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/WCS-Peer-Specialist-Lead-Groups-rev.- 7.18.24.pdf We are counting on you to speak up for us and especially to mobilize on our behalf. Thank you so much for your compassion. We need you NOW!!! Please advocate for us, we need your help to shut down this event sos Please see the below article https://www.theblaze.com/columns/opinion/pride-flies-a-flag-why-dont-the-other- deadl -sue eg t-one Pride flies a flag why don't the other deadly sins get one? Albin Sadar June 15, 2025 We don't throw a parade for envy or gluttony. So why do we elevate pride to the level of national celebration, protected speech, and sacred cow? The first sign of spring is said to be the appearance of a robin. That sign is followed by the first sign that June has arrived: a Pride flag, festooned with what seems to be an ever-increasing number of colors and symbols, hoisted up the flagpole, right under (or alongside) Old Glory. For as long as most folks living in a civil society can remember, pride and lust have been counted among the infamous list known as the seven deadly sins. The list varies slightly in order and phrasing, but they are: lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, and pride. To my knowledge, only "pride" has a flag designed specifically to celebrate its practice. However, the Pride flag doesn't just encompass pride it glorifies lust too even though you can attach the spirit of pride to any of the other bad behaviors found on the infamous list. Of course, the Ten Commandments outline the evil of all of these sins, warning of the danger of being controlled by them. Pride, along with the other deadly sins, is spiritually dangerous and it often carries psychological and physical consequences too. Flags, of course, are symbolic and used to unite those of similar viewpoint and allegiance. But we are aware that they can also rally people to lethal ends. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Arthur Schaper <Arthur o,massresistance.org> Date: Wednesday, June 11, 2025 Subject: CA MassResistance to the Orange County Supervisors: Shut Down LGBT Pride Promotions at Clarvida Wellness Center To: "Donald.Wa ner ocgov.com" <Donald.Wa ner o,ocgov.com>, "Fourth.District@ocgov.com" <Fourth.

We are an international pro -family organization that has been fighting the LGBT agenda for over thirty years. Members of the Clarvida Wellness Center in Orange County have become increasingly alarmed and outraged by all the pro-LGBT programming shoved on them and everyone else in the center. I have received documentation of all this propaganda being forced on the staff and members. See attached. I understand that the OC Board of Supervisors has already banned the presentation of so-called "pride" flags on county properties. I urge the county to enforce these regulations at the Clarvida Wellness Center as well since this facility operates within the Orange County Health Department. No one should be forced to look at the promotion of LGBT perversion and destruction. These behaviors are inherently harmful, cut individual lifespans by an average of 20%, and contribute to a number of mental health problems. These comorbidities occur even in the most LGBT affirming countries, by the way, so the pathologies do not result from societal stigma or persecution. It's time to do what is best for all patients in the Clarvida Wellness Center. All this LGBT propaganda needs to be removed.

Some people don't want to be forced to comply with anything.

It's no longer enough to accept and support the safety and comfort ot a group ot marginalized people with ditterent gender or sexual ideas.. you must wear the pin, March in the March, take your child to drag queen story hour, trans your son and put him on hormone blockers if he plays with a Barbie.,.don't be a bigot!

Revised 10-30-20 3 Copyright Pathways of California: 2023, All Rights Reserved Flores, Dora From: Adriana Alanis < Sent: Tuesday, June 17, 2025 7:13 AM To: eComment Subject: Urgent Concerns Regarding ICE and Military Presence in Santa Ana Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links. Dear Mayor Valarie Amezcua and Esteemed Council Members, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to you not only as a longtime resident of Santa Ana, but also as a dedicated paralegal and advocate for justice, to express my deep concern regarding the visible presence of ICE, the National Guard, and military personnel in our city. It is deeply troubling to witness ICE targeting hardworking immigrants —individuals who contribute meaningfully to our community and are simply trying to provide for their families. Contrary to the narrative that ICE is pursuing dangerous criminals, the reality on the ground reveals that many of these individuals have no criminal history. I have personally seen how tirelessly these residents work and how unjustly they are being pursued. Equally alarming is the increasing presence of military personnel in our neighborhoods — individuals armed with war -grade weapons patrolling our streets. This militarized environment is not only unsettling but also counterproductive to creating a sense of safety. These forces are trained for combat, not for community safety, and their presence fosters fear rather than protection among residents. As your constituent, I urge Mayor Amezcua and the City Council to take a clear stance in protecting all Santa Ana residents, regardless of immigration status. The Constitution guarantees basic rights to everyone within the United States, and it is your duty as our elected leaders to uphold those protections and ensure that Santa Ana remains a safe and inclusive city for all. Please do not allow fear and intimidation to become normalized in our community. We are counting on you to act in defense of our neighbors and to reaffirm that this city will not stand by while families are torn apart. Thank you for your time, and I hope to see meaningful leadership and action on this matter.

King Street between Washington and 17th Street Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links. Hello Council Members, I've been a Santa Ana homeowner on King Street since September 2013, and I would like to request some assistance with a serious safety issue. The issue in question is the seriously inadequate speed bumps on our street. At times, some individuals speed up and down our street, going in the range of what appears to be 50 — 60 MPH or more, and they sail over the bumps without slowing down whatsoever. This has been an issue since we first moved to our home, and I was hoping the city would recognize the problems and fix them. Well, all these years later, it remains the same, and now I'm asking for assistance. Many of us back out of our driveways and are concerned that a serious accident will happen or one of our kids will be hit by one of these careless and disrespectful drivers. Please advise if this email will be sufficient for the city to initiate action to address the problem, or if I need to attend a Council meeting or get a petition. I have no doubt I can get many neighbors to sign it. We would like to have our street respected and safe for all who live here. Thank you for your anticipated assistance with this matter.

Use caution when opening attachments or links. Hello, At a moment of U.S. history that echoes 1930s Germany, fascism has entered our sanctuary city in the form of ICE raids supported by an unprecedented federal military occupation. Community members are being disappeared without due process in violation of the Constitution. In these precarious times, our community members families, parents, workers, contributors to our culture and economy are being snatched up by masked officers in unmarked vehicles like a modern-day Gestapo. In response, the community has activated to exercise our First Amendment rights in peaceful protest of these draconian attacks from an authoritarian federal government. While a small percentage of these protests have devolved into acts of violence against property, that pales in comparison to the widespread acts of state violence against human beings committed by ICE, the Department of Homeland Security, the National Guard, and the U.S. Marines. In defiance of state law —Senate Bill 54 limits cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities —the Santa Ana Police Department responded to peaceful protests last week by marching in militarized riot gear, firing pepper balls and rubber bullets, deploying tear gas against residents. This is not normal. It is unacceptable. Unfortunately, instead of strong leadership, we get comments from Mayor Amezcua that are vaguely noncommittal at best, and recklessly false at worst. For example, she explained why she didn't join protesters in the streets because "I don't represent just one group of the community." So who are the other groups she represents, besides those who are being kidnapped and those who are protesting the kidnappings? It seems there could only be one group left for her to represent: those who are doing the kidnapping. Mayor Amezcua also claimed on Facebook that the protests were violent and destructive, but media sources refuted that claim by reporting only minimal property damage following the protests. By demonizing peaceful protesters who are reacting to oppressive fascism, and refusing to stand up in support of those affected by violent illegal ICE raids, Mayor Amezcua is making it clear that the only people she stands with are the fascists. We the people demand accountability from our leaders. We demand the demilitarization of our communities. We support peaceful protesters who express their First Amendment rights. We proudly embody the default setting of all decent human beings: anti -fascist.

Use caution when opening attachments or links. Dear Mayor Amezcua, I am writing today not only as a concerned resident of this city but as someone deeply disappointed by your recent actions —or more precisely, your inactions —during one of the most critical moments for our community. We are witnessing immense pain, fear, and frustration from those in our city who are basically being hunted for sport by those unqualified to do so. Instead of standing up for those most affected —those whose voices have been raised peacefully in protest —you have chosen silence, or worse, antagonism. Your failure to show up, speak up, and lead with courage has left many of us feeling abandoned by the very person elected to protect and advocate for all constituents. What's most troubling is the way you've allowed law enforcement to escalate tension, using aggression against peaceful protestors —our neighbors, our friends, our youth —who were exercising their constitutional rights. Tear gas, rubber bullets, and intimidation tactics have no place in a community gathering to demand justice. To condone such harm, either explicitly or through your inaction, is unconscionable. While you have finally spoken publicly in support of the residents most impacted, your words felt hollow. They lacked the empathy, urgency, and emotional weight that the moment demands. Support without compassion is performative. This community deserved to see a mayor who not only acknowledges their suffering but who visibly stands in solidarity with them —not one who delivers detached statements as if checking a political box. Furthermore, your recent conduct toward fellow council members —particularly those who bring dissenting or critical perspectives —has been dismissive and needlessly combative. We expect discourse from our leaders, not divisiveness. Being mayor means representing everyone, not just those who agree with you. Leadership requires more than titles and press conferences; it demands integrity, empathy, and the humility to listen. I urge you to reflect deeply on the role you swore to uphold. Our community needs a mayor who acts with courage, not pettiness. Who builds bridges, not walls. Who protects people, not power.

I am addressing you directly as a white, home owning citizen, in an affluent part of the community, to say that when you speak up for the human dignity of our immigrant brothers and sisters (both documented and without papers), and when you refuse to comply with a tyrannical government, you are not giving your "Chicano fist pump", you ARE in fact speaking up for me.

Use caution when opening attachments or links. Mayor and City Council, I join the many residents and community members calling for the removal of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), U.S. Border Patrol, the Department of Homeland Security, the National Guard, and any of there federal agencies assisting in the kidnapping of our community members and militarizing the city we love and call home. These agencies are imposing unnecessary psychological (mental health decline, stress, fear, etc) and even physical harm (shooting rubber bullets, throwing tear gas at people practicing their first amendment right) and financial insecurity (not going to work in fear of facing ICE/BP/DHS) in our community. Anyone from and who lives in Santa Ana has sense the instantaneous shift in our community since these agencies entered our community — empty streets, fear of going to get ones' going to work and/or getting essentials, wanting to leave the state, etc. I join and reaffirm the demands to Mayor Amezcua and the rest of the city council to remove these harmful federal agencies that do nothing but invoke violence from our community. I also want to express my extreme disappointment and frustration with the lack of care and solidarity from Mayor Valerie Amezcua. It is embarrassing to call her our mayor, especially as she uses her family members' migration stories only when it's convenient for her, but stays silent when the community needed her support, and when she did finally speak it was heartless and too late. Mayor Valerie Amezcua needs to be held accountable for her lack of leadership for those most vulnerable in our community. Mayor Amezcua, your lack of action to protect our community is shameful and at the very least to even save any ounce of integrity you may have left, you must resign to hold yourself accountable for not being capable of leading this city with love, grace, strength, and bravery in tumultuous times. Instead you are complicit with the harm those most vulnerable have been facing everyday. All of the city council members must act to not only ensure that these agencies leave our cities but to leave knowing that they are not welcome here. The council must also act to provide support and care to those directly impacted by recent these inhumane raids we have all witnessed throughout our city. Do better.

I was made aware that there is active discrimination against Christians and others Patients at the Clarvida operated Wellness Centers. I was also informed by several Patients of forced immersion and indoctrination into the LGBTQIA+ agenda. I request some action be taken and pray for your support of these vulnerable Patients who state they feel Clarvida grooming them via forced participation in LGBTQIA+ activities. They have stated these classes and group activities, as well as an event planned for Friday conflict both with their conscience and their sincerely held beliefs. They have also stated they are not allowed to opt out, but simply told if they do not like it they should not come. I am advocating for this to stop and a resolution be reached that is acceptable to all parties involved.

I kindly request you reply immediately to this email or Mass Resistance. Please be advised I have received and reviewed copious amounts of writings, recordings and other documentation that suggests your OC Wellness Centers are engaging in illegal conduct. Furthermore, I have been made aware of the existence of video footage showing one or more Clarvida employees engaging in prohibited Hate Speech against Christianity. To be specific, the speech contained slurs against the Judeo-Christian Scriptures. My original objective was to inquire about the month long LGBTQIA+ activities, and the event planned on the day of the Stonewall anniversary. However, after exhaustive research; I have come to the conclusion that the atmosphere of your facilities is not just pro -Queer, it is specifically anti-Christian. I would like to grant you/us the opportunity to prove me/us wrong. With this in mind, I am including a series of questions that can easily be answered as "Yes" or "No". I request you reply and respond to my questions exactly like that. Y or N. Instead of the word <member> I will use the term Patient, because this is what they seem to be. For all the following please reply Y/N Clarvida Wellness Center services Patients but calls them members. They are assigned serial numbers that are basically the equivalent of a Medical Record Number (MRN). The Social Agreement is used as a substitute for a Patients Rights and Responsibilities Form, in violation of established Health Care protocols. Clarvida is a "Large Nonprofit", making it subject to President Trump's Executive Order regarding DEI. Clarvida received and continues to receive a significant amount of Federal funding. Clarvida maintains, or permits a hostile environment against Christians. A Clarvida employee was filmed a few days before Holy Week 2025 stating the Bible is the cause of slavery and violence against women and that because Jesus was "born a Jew", He would support that mindset. Clarvida employees have aggressively prohibited Christians from quietly praying. Clarvida employees have militantly enforced the mandatory use of 3rd parties preferred pronouns. This was done even when the 3rd party in question was not within earshot, and therefore could not have been offended. Clarvida withholds ongoing services from Patients or Program Participants who complain. Clarvida uses food to lure undernourished people into LGBTQ+ activities. Clarvida engages in grooming behavior by promulgating LGBTQ+ activities to Patients, at least some of whom have severe and significant Cognitive delays. Some of the Patients induced into participation of gay pride have drastically diminished mental capacity. Some of the Patients have severe psychosis and are unable to make rational, informed decisions about their sexual choices. Some Patients have objected to the pride activities being held all month long and were told to not come if they didn't like it. Clarvida has not provided an alternative activity during the designated time frame of the Stonewall day celebration. Clarvida canceled a Trauma Recovery group in order to celebrate Stonewall day. This occurred because the group facilitator, Freddy Fernandez is a homosexual and demanded the Stonewall day event take precedence over the Trauma Recovery group. Trauma Recovery is for everyone, including those who live the homosexual, transsexual or nonbinary/ genderqueer lifestyle. Clarvida's Wellness South Calendar shows another pride event on June 26th - the 10 year anniversary of Obergefell vs Hodges. Clarvida staff picked those dates with surgical precision to align with historical events that celebrate days considered to be LGBT+ milestones or victories. Clarvida staff will not allow Christians, or for that matter any other Abrahamaic religion to attend the Stonewall day celebration and quote the Judeo-Christian Bible, including verses in the Torah or the New Testament regarding homosexuality. Clarvida staff will not allow anyone to state facts contrary to LGBT+ programming. For example, that there are only 2 genders, or articulate the belief that every member of Humanity was created male or female. Clarvida staff will not allow anyone to offer their view that marriage is the Sacred union of one male and one female. Clarvida staff will not allow anyone to articulate the viewpoint that gender is biological and immutable. Clarvida will not permit anyone to mention programs like Courage which advocates for compassionate treatment and respect for the same -sex attracted, while guiding and encouraging them to choose celibacy. Clarvida will not allow anyone to mention Reparative Therapy, but freely doles out information about how to obtain gender changing hormones and even surgery. By imposing these speech restrictions, Clarvida is deliberately promoting one worldview or ideology over another. At least a few Patients who identify as Atheist or non -Religious have complained the incessant gay centered activities were too much and promoted over regular activities. Clarvida does not inform Patients of their Rights to make grievances directly to the County's Health Care Agency. (OCHCA) This concludes my questions, at least for now. Please strive to respond within 2 business days so the situation can be appropriately assessed. You are welcome to direct your reply to Mass Resistance. For your convenience I have cc'd them.

Dear Mayor Amezcua and Santa Ana City Council Members, My name is Sarah Ngo, and I am your constituent living in Santa Ana, CA, zip code 92707. 1 am writing to express my deep concern over Mayor Valerie Amezcua's response to the current, unconstitutional ICE raids that are happening all over Santa Ana. I DEMAND that Mayor Valerie Amezcua and Santa Ana's City Council Members: 1. Refuse to cooperate with ICE and declare Santa Ana a sanctuary city. ICE is actively terrorizing our communities, tearing families apart, destroying businesses, and kidnapping people of all kinds of documented statuses. ICE has no place in Santa Ana. The Mayor and City Council MUST protect their people against this racist police institution. This includes stopping SAPID from cooperating with ICE through the sharing of information, resources, and personnel. 2. Demilitarize the Santa Ana Police Department. Last week, SAPID fired rubber bullets and deployed tear gas on protesters who were rightfully standing up against the unjust, unconstitutional ICE raids. These violent responses from the SAPID violate our 1st Amendment rights to peaceful, lawful assembly. We the people call on the mayor to defund and demilitarize SAPID at once, instead using the money to invest in critical programs such as housing, education, and public health for the city. We will be watching you, and come next voting season, we will remember if you neglected to stand with your people. PEOEE OVER PRISONS. PEOPLE OVER COPS. PEOPLE OVER ICE.

Use caution when opening attachments or links. Dear City Councilmembers, City Staff, and Valerie Amezcua, My name is Arcelia Gutierrez and I am a resident of Santa Ana in the French Park neighborhood. I write to express my gratitude to council members Jesse Lopez, Benjamin Vazquez, and Johnathan Hernandez for their exemplary leadership during this last week and a half. When our city faced devastating Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids, police brutality against protesters, and the militarized presence of the National Guard, councilmembers Lopez, Vazquez, and Hernandez were on the front lines protecting their constituents and defending our first amendment rights. I write to request that the City of Santa Ana implement a community alert system to notify residents when ICE operations are occurring in our area. A transparent alert system would allow residents to make informed decisions and take necessary precautions to protect themselves and their families. I also request the City of Santa Ana formally oppose the presence of the National Guard in our city. Furthermore, I request that the City of Santa Ana defend the first amendment rights of its constituents and demilitarize the Santa Ana Police Department. I witnessed numerous instances in which law enforcement fired rubber bullets, used flash grenades, and deployed tear gas against peaceful Santa Ana protesters. Local law enforcement used excessive force, hurt and endangered Santa Ana residents, and caused damages to local businesses. The Santa Ana Police Department should protect its residents, not endanger them. Lastly, I write to demand that Valerie Amezcua resign her position as mayor of the City of Santa Ana. Her dangerous words and inaction endangered thousands of Santa Ana residents. Amezcua issued a statement that criminalized local protesters, cowardly hid for three days, and only retracted when public opinion resoundingly opposed her actions. We do not want a mayor that is absent during times of crisis and only shows up for photo opps to save face. We need a mayor that actually cares for their constituents. Amezcua is not fit to be Santa Ana's mayor and should resign.

Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links. Mayor Amezcua, As a concerned resident of Santa Ana, I'd like to express my disappointment in your lack of compassion, thoughtful leadership and concern for our community during these unprecedented ICE raids and military occupation of our city. We do not want unlimited support and city funds going to SAPD while you demonize protestors and city council members that are righteously angry at what is happening. Instead of standing with your community, denouncing the state sanctioned violence and working to protect our undocumented brothers and sisters, you've advised us to "lay low" while ICE wreaks havoc on hard working families, and called our protests "pure chaos and violence", which is completely untrue. We need more than that right now and you are in a position of power to do the right thing. Because of your relationship with SAPD, and the fact that the police union largely funded your election campaign, it is my strong belief that you have a conflict of interest in protecting and representing your community, and I think you should resign from your position. If you refuse to resign, please take the concerns of thousands of your constituents seriously and take meaningful action toward regaining the trust of those you supposedly represent. Thank you. -Laura Wood Flores, Dora From: Benjamin Rodriguez < Sent: Tuesday, June 17, 2025 1:56 PM To: eComment Subject: Public comment regarding ICE enforcement, local law enforcement, and local leadership Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links. Dear City Council, My name is Ben Rodriguez, and I live in the French Park neighborhood of Santa Ana. I'm writing to commend Councilmembers Jesse Lopez, Benjamin Vazquez, and Johnathan Hernandez for their strong leadership during the recent ICE raids, police violence against protesters, and the National Guard's presence. They stood with the community and defended our rights while others decided to stay silent and complicit during the events. I respectfully request the City of Santa Ana to: 1. Create a community alert system to notify residents of ICE activity, so families can stay informed and safe. 2. Oppose the National Guard's presence in our city. 3. Protect First Amendment rights and demilitarize the Santa Ana Police Department, which used excessive force against peaceful protesters. 4. Call for Mayor Valerie Amezcua's resignation due to her harmful statements, lack of leadership during the crisis, and failure to support the community when it mattered most. Santa Ana deserves leadership that shows up, listens, and protects its people. Sincerely, Ben Rodriguez Flores, Dora From: Mayra Vargas < Sent: Tuesday, June 17, 2025 1:58 PM To: eComment Subject: City council comment 6/17 Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links. I am a born and raised Santa Ana resident, and I am extremely outraged by the blatant lies and misinformation that this so called Mayor has stated. Our city needs someone who stands for ALL communities, not one that sells us out in favor of rich businesses and trigger happy police forces. Mayor Amezcua, you will go down in history as the most ill fitting, disgraced politician our city has ever known. Shame on you for labeling peaceful protests as rioters- maybe stop watching Fox News and get off your chair and DO SOMETHING. Unlike your cowardly acts we had real city council members and a board supervisor out in the streets with the people. WE NEED THAT, we need representation and ultimately we need you mayor to step down and let our community protect each other because it's clearly not going to be you that saves us. Get Outlook for iOS
