To whom it may concern:
Good evening, my name is Keila Villegas and I am the Water Justice Director at Orange County Environmental Justice. I'd
like to submit a Public Comment via email to introduce myself and our efforts to the Anaheim City Council.
At OCEJ, we have our Communities Organizing for Better Water campaign which focuses on documenting water
pollution across OC. Our goal for tonight's meeting is to introduce our Policy Brief also found on our website to the
council.
Our policy brief goes over a range of topics including indigenous sovereignty, industrial pollution, city maintenance, and
more. We believe some of the recommendations listed in the brief can be applied to the city of Anaheim.
I'd be happy to schedule time with council members about this brief on how we can potentially work together for
cleaner and safe environments. In addition to advocating for community based solutions, we aim to ease the
communications between residents and pertaining entities who monitor / enforce water standards.
Kind regards,
Keila Villegas
Water Justice Director
