City Manager Vanderpool reported that the proposed budget funds the most extensive services of any city in Orange County. He noted that there are significant challenges that the City will continue to face; however; staff has prepared a balanced budget for the Council's consideration. He noted that the budget drew on reserves, bond proceeds, and one-time revenues from the sale of Car Park 2. He added that there are challenges with TOT revenue from hotel visitors. He explained that the City is projecting a 2.4% growth for the upcoming fiscal year. He reported that the City is looking toward the retirement of the 1997 Resort bonds to free an additional $120 million for the City. He explained that although the City anticipates higher visitor revenues due to OCVIBE and Disneyland Forward, rising costs and other challenges remain. He reported that the results of the Citywide Classification and Compensation study and expiring labor agreements pose a prospect for higher labor costs in the upcoming years. He shared that federal budget cuts are proposed, which would result in cuts to federally funded programs. He noted that the City is in a fortunate position compared to other cities that have turned to cutting services or raising taxes. He assured the community that the City will be available to residents and work through the issues with the community's input and guidance. He recognized the Budget team's work, their preparation, and coordination of the FY 2025/26 budget. He added that the team is consistently recognized by the Government Finance Officers Association for distinguished budget presentations. Finance Director Debbie Moreno reported that the proposed FY 2025/26 budget includes Citywide expenditures totaling $2.4 billion. She noted that the largest portion of the budget belongs to the Enterprise funds at 40%. She shared that the bulk of the Enterprise funds are from restricted sources and the majority of unrestricted funds are in the General Fund, which makes up 22% of the Citywide budget. Director Moreno presented the General Fund Five -Year Forecast which did not include a recession or general wage increases beyond current labor contracts. She reported that the proposed FY 2025/26 begins with General Fund operating sources totaling $608 million and operating uses at $671.9 million. She explained that the City relies on bond proceeds, one-time funds, and the use of reserves until the LPMR bonds are paid off in 2027, bringing the ending reserves to 11% of General Fund expenditures. She reported that staff is recommending the addition of $3,120,000 to the proposed budget. She shared that the proposed budget amendment supports the fully burdened costs associated with positions added pursuant to the Enhanced Services Agreement between the City and City Council Minutes of June 17, 2025 Page 34 of 38 Disney, identified in their Development Agreement. She added that the agreement is for an ongoing five-year term and identifies an Annual Obligation under which Disney will fully offset these amounts and adjusts annually to reflect changing labor costs. She reported that the amendment affects the Fire & Rescue, Planning & Building, and Public Works Department budgets, adding a total of 15 positions to support development review and inspection associated with the implementation of Disneyland Forward. She added that revenues in the Employee Benefits Fund have been reduced by $14.9 million due to a system error that caused them to be overstated in the proposed budget. She explained that the result was an $18 million surplus to the fund which will be corrected to align with revenues and expenditures. Director Moreno reported that the California State Constitution requires each local agency to establish an appropriations limit prior to the commencement of each fiscal year. She noted that the limits are based upon the appropriations limits for fiscal year 2024/25, adjusted for the growth factors in the City's population and California per capita personal income growth. Director Moreno reported that the proposed fee changes include increases to Enterprise fees for Convention Center, Golf and Public Works, and General Fund user fee increases for Planning & Building, Public Works, Fire & Rescue, and Community Services. She shared that increases are generally 3% unless market or comparable information supports otherwise. She noted that the Anaheim Convention Center is operated with the intent of recovering all operating expenses, including overhead, on a user charge basis from tenants utilizing the facility. She shared that the proposed rates are the result of an effort to develop fair and equitable charges for these facilities and are consistent with those charged by comparable venues. She noted that the Golf Division is proposing a small rate increase on green fees and cart fees to keep up with the rising costs in labor, utilities, maintenance and equipment. She reported that Public Works is proposing a 3% increase to Solid Waste Collection fees to offset increasing operational costs and contractual payments to the City's waste hauler, Republic Services, and payments to the County landfill system for disposal. She added that a 3% rate increase is proposed to support wastewater collection and disposal service to customers. She noted that it would include the cost of operations and maintenance; inspection, repair, rehabilitation, and replacement of wastewater facilities to maintain compliance with the State Sewer Waste Discharge Requirements; compliance with State stormwater regulations; acquisition of appurtenant equipment, materials, and supplies; labor and administrative costs; and meeting ongoing debt service obligations. DISCUSSION: In response to Council Member Rubalcava, Director Moreno explained that the staffing level relates to Disneyland Forward and not the Operating Agreement. She added that the agreement is for an ongoing five-year term until the agreement is terminated. She explained that for every year that the agreement is renewed, there is a five-year window to adjust staffing. Council Member Leon inquired if the proposed budget maintains current staffing levels and services. Director Moreno confirmed the proposed budget maintains current levels of service. In response to Council Member Leon, Director Moreno reported that the Solid Waste Collection fees will be increasing by 3% and generate $1.9 million in revenue. Director of Public Works Rudy Emami shared that residential rates will increase from $28.61 to $29.47 per month. He added that the Wastewater rates will increase from $6.93 to $7.14. Council Member Leon requested updates to Chaparral Park and received confirmation from Director of Community Services Sjany Larson -Cash. He thanked staff for their work. In response to Council Member Balius, Director Moreno reported that the error is reflected in the budget under Internal Service funds under General Benefits and Insurance. City Council Minutes of June 17, 2025 Page 35 of 38 Council Member Balius thanked the City Manager and Finance team for their work on the budget. He highlighted the dedication it took to compile the budget and expressed his appreciation for the solid budget. He noted that public safety continues to remain a high budget priority with increased funding for the Police and Fire departments. He explained that it reflects the City's ongoing commitment to keeping neighborhoods safe and is critical to ensuring that first responders continue to serve the community. He noted that investments in public safety include providing training and resources to officers and firefighters to ensure their safety and that duties are performed efficiently. He added that the investment leads to quicker response times, stronger community relationships, and a more proactive approach to evolving community needs and growing diversity in the City. He highlighted the $8 million earmarked for parks and continued investment in street repairs and infrastructure upgrades. He acknowledged the budget concerns and the instability of using one-time expenses to cover the budget. He expressed concern that one-time funds are being used to cover operating expenses rather than to capital improvement projects. He shared that the City will not move forward using retired LPMR bonds to cover operating costs. He explained that if the City is unable to find reliable recurring revenue sources, the City will need to make tough choices about programs and services. He recommended working closely with hotel and Resort partners to identify and attract additional investment. He encouraged Public Works to return to the City Council with creative solutions to expand and improve transit with the World Cup and Olympics coming up. He reported that the $64 million deficit is due to the decrease in TOT revenue and that the decrease in TOT underscores the urgency for proactive planning and strategic investments in the tourism industry at the Resort and Beach Boulevard. He requested that the Economic Development Department provide a report with solutions and options on investment in the area. He cautioned against using one-time funds to cover ongoing expenses and requested that the City be proactive in identifying new sources of recurring revenue to continue to provide high -quality services that residents expect and deserve. Mayor Pro Tern Meeks thanked staff for their work on the budget. She expressed her appreciation that the City is continuing to deliver services to the community. She encouraged staff to track revenue sources and where cuts would be required. She suggested a quarterly update to ensure the City is staying on budget. Director Moreno noted that staff will monitor accordingly and provide updates if there are any changes. Council Member Rubalcava highlighted the City's $79 million investment into the Community Services Department and $205 million into the Housing and Community Development Department. She shared that the City is doing significant work beyond what the federal government is providing, and an inclusionary housing policy. She reported that each of the departments in the City is impacting neighborhoods. She recommended additional discussions to find opportunities to generate additional revenue for the City including a parking assessment. Council Member Kurtz thanked staff for their work on the budget. She echoed Council Member Rubalcava's comments and highlighted Public Works, Code Enforcement, and Public Utilities for ensuring neighborhoods are clean and sidewalks are fixed. She shared that while the City Council does not like increasing fees, she noted the fee increases are minimal. She expressed her appreciation that departments have worked to come up with funds to limit increases. Mayor Aitken thanked staff for their work on the budget and echoed her Council colleagues' comments. She shared that the funds from the LPMR bonds are an opportunity to do something transformative for the City; however, those opportunities would be limited if the funds are spent on operating expenses. She wanted to ensure that the City's assets remain public land and avoid selling assets to cover gaps. City Council Minutes of June 17, 2025 Page 36 of 38 At 9:17 p.m., Mayor Aitken opened the public hearing. Marc Herbert commented on vacancy rates within the Police Department and Fire Department.

He explained that the Maintenance District was established to ensure a high level of care needed to maintain the Anaheim Resort. He shared that the ARMD is approximately 2.2 square miles and was formed on July 1, 1999 by the City Council, based on a vote by property owners in the Anaheim Resort. He reported that the assessment rate for FY 2025/26 was recommended to increase by 3.3% in conformance with the Consumer Price Index. He noted that it will generate $6.2 million, which will be deposited into the City Council Minutes of June 17, 2025 Page 37 of 38 ARMD fund. He added that the ARMD has dedicated Public Works staff to oversee the operations and maintenance contracts. He shared that the main thoroughfares through the District are Harbor Boulevard and Katella Avenue.

Box 3222. Anaheim, CA 92833 Subject, Protest Against Proposed Rate increases for Solid Waste and Wastewater Services Dear City Clerk, I am writing to formally protest the proposed increases to the solid waste and wastewater service rates in the City of Anaheim. As a resident of Anaheim, I am deeply concerned about the continued rise in living costs, including groceries, utilities, and housing. Inflation has placed a heavy burden on many households, and for many of us, our incomes have not kept pace with these rising expenses. Increasing utility rates at this time would further strain already tight budgets and force residents to make difficult choices just to keep up with basic necessities. Given the current economic pressures, I urge the City of Anaheim to reconsider this rate increase artd seek alternative solutions that do not place additional burdens on working families and residents. Please count this letter as my formal protest against the proposed rate increases. Sincerely, Long Nguyen FR9r1T 5r17 P.C) Box �2" S° U.

Box 3222 Anaheim, CA 92803 Re: Public Comment— Opposition to Proposed Fee Increases for Solid Waste and Wastewater Services Date: May 5, 2025 Dear City Clerk and Members of the Council, My name is David Martinez, and I am a resident of Anaheim currently living at Anaheim, CA 92805. 1 am writing to formally oppose the proposed increases to solid waste and wastewater fees, as outlined in the public notice for the hearing scheduled on June 17, 2025. 1. tack of Financial Transparency The notice fails to provide a detailed breakdown of rising costs, specific vendor contracts, or trends that would warrant an increase. Without clear financial documentation and justification, residents like myself are unable to fully evaluate or support the rationale behind these changes. 2. Disproportionate Impact on Working Families and Fixed -Income Households As a healthcare professional and Nursing Clinical Director at MLK Community Hospital, I witness firsthand the firianciaL strain many families in our community are already facing. Applying a uniform rate increase without income -based considerations places an unfair burden on vulnerable residents. 3. unclear Efforts to Reduce Casts Internally The City has not disclosed whether it has pursued operational efficiencies or cost - containment strategies prior to proposing these increases. A public rate hike should only follow demonstrated internal accountability and cost control. 4. Limited Community Access and Engagement Scheduling the hearing at 5:00 p.m. on a weekday with minimal outreach may limit participation from working professionals and caregivers. I strongly urge the City to allow more time and ensure equitable access to this process. 5. Pattern of Incremental Fee Increases Without Outcome Transparency This appears to be part of a recurring trend of rate hikes without clear reporting on service improvements or environmental benefits. As residents, we deserve to see how our contributions lead to measurable outcomes, not just higher bills. G. Unjustified and Uneven Rate Hikes Across Service Types Upon reviewing the breakdown of proposed fees, the increases vary across service types, with some rates increasing significantly more than others. For example: • A standard Residential 96-galLon Solid Waste bin is proposed to increase from $29.95 to $31.16 per month — nearly a 4% increase. • For commercial customers, many rates are rising by 5% to over 10%, depending on bin size and service type. • Wastewater Maintenance Fees for single-family residential homes would increase from $28.13 to $29.24, another 4% rise — adding to the burden for homeowners already paying rising utility costs. These increases, while seemingly modest individually, are cumulative and applied at a time when residents are already grappling with inflation, housing instability, and healthcare cost pressures. Moreover, there is no evidence of improved service quality or community benefit attached to these price hikes. Recommendation: I respectfully request that the City delay or rejectthe proposed increases until: • A full itemized cost breakdown is shared publicly, • Equity -based tiers or hardship exemptions are explored, • Internal cost -saving measures are implemented anc disclosed, and • A more inclusive public engagement process is conducted. I appreciate your time and attention to this matter and hope the City prioritizes transparency, equity, and accountability in its final decision. Sincerely, David Martinez Anaheim, CA 92805 I CA 0 May 8, 2025 City Clerk P.C. Box 3222 Anaheim, CA 92803 Hello City Clerk, This letter is to protest any rate increase for solid waste and wastewater rates. The people of Anaheim are being gouged enough by the prices of gasoline, groceries, and basic necessities. It only appears to begetting worse with the new tariffs. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. There is no good reason to impose an increase at this time. The residents of Anaheim are tow to middle -income people. We seem to begetting hitthe hardest by this economy. We cannot afford another unnecessary increase! Our wages are not increasing at the same rate as the cost of goods. The cost of living is pushing many people out of their homes and onto the streets. For myself, my husband passed away last year. I am now a one -income household. White the increase in fee may seem minimal to you, it is just one more added expense that we do not want. I'm requesting for myself and for my neighbors not to implement these rate increases Sincerely, Andrea Farber Anaheim, CA 92805 0 may-10, 2025 ATTN: CITY CLERK CITY OF ANAHEIM P.O.

I do not feel the City is utilizing the funds properly allocated and budgeted for the use of these vital services. There has been a lot of waste and abuse of funds towards contracted services and other non -essential needs and services related to the Solid Waste and Wastewater services.

Click to watch Congressman Correa's PSA on ICE Raids in Orange County Sin:::ethen, I've worked with local officials, community leaders, and non-profit organizations to ensure our immigrant neighbors have the resources they need. I visited the ICE field office in Santa Ana and hosted multiple emergency community meetings to address this unconstitutional executive overreach. As we continue responding to ICE's threats to our community, I wanted to let you know wh2rethings stand. At home in Orange County, I have spent years working with my neighbors and local organizations on immigration issues. Beforethis Administration took office, I began reaching out to community partners and immigration advocates to embark in a large-scale effort to empower our community with the information they need to protect themselves. Together with dozens of Orange County organizations, we've conducted dozens of "Know Your Rights" sessions across our district. To date, we have educated thousands of our neighbors and distributed morethan 50,000 pamphlets in English and Spanish, and more than 11,000 in English and Vietnamese. Click r'-L?E to watch Congressman Correa's press conference in Santa Ana To those who are feeling frustrated, afraid, angry, or all of the above: I stand with you. I will remain diligent in calling for oversight and accountability of ICE and DHS.

Good evening Madame Mayor, City Councilmembers, and City Staff, My name is Catherine Fuentes, and I am a resident of Anaheim in Neighborhood or District, if applicable. I'm speaking today to respectfully request that the City of Anaheim implement a community alert system to notify residents when Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations are occurring in our area. Many Anaheim residents live in fear of unexpected enforcement actions, which continues to separate families, disrupt livelihoods, and erode trust between immigrant communities and local government. A transparent alert system -similar to how we are notified of emergencies or safety concerns -would allow residents to make informed decisions and take necessary precautions to protect themselves and their families. This is not about obstructing federal law; it's about ensuring due process and human dignity. Our community deserves to know when potentially life -altering actions are happening in their neighborhoods. Cities like Los Angeles and others across the country have begun exploring or implementing similar approaches. Anaheim can and should lead in protecting the safety and well-being of all its residents. l urge the Council to explore policy options or partnerships that would allow Anaheim to notify residents -via text, email, or app alert -when credible reports of ICE activity are confirmed in our area. Thank you for your time, and I hope you'll take this important step to keep Anaheim a place where all families feel safe and informed.

It also requires federal contractors and grantees to certify that they do not operate illegal DEI programs. • Executive order 14151 ("Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing"): Directs the termination of federal DEI programs and offices. 0- Important Considerations: • Legal challenges: Some of these executive orders are facing legal challenges, with one federal judge issuing a preliminary injunction against portions of the DEl and Environmental Justice EOs. The long- term impact of these orders may depend on the outcomes of this litigation. • Uncertainty and lack of clarity: There is ongoing uncertainty about what specific DEI activities or programs are considered "illegal" under the executive orders. • Continued need for anti -discrimination efforts: Organizations must continue to comply with federal and state anti -discrimination laws, and eliminating all DEI programs could increase the risk of discrimination claims. o" I heard this recently, loosely copying the sentiment: Like most progressive liberal issues the expectations continue to increase. The expectations have gone from: 1. Tolerance (1970s - 1980s) 2. acceptance (1990-2000) 3. celebration (recently) 4. and now.. participation. Meaning: If you aren't actively participating in pride month you aren't doing enough. We see it in corporate America, schools government.. All the institutions. Just like the fact that Kramer didn't want to wear the "AIDS" pin while he did join in the march (see the Seinfeld episode, it predicted and mocked where we were headed). Some people don't want to be forced to comply with anything. The pride movement is not "live and let live" it has evolved into "wear the pin, or post your black square on Facebook or you are a homophobe and a racist!" It's no longer enough to accept and support the safety and comfort of a group of marginalized people with different 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! We are tolerant country full of many individuals who just won't be coerced based on our instincts and personal principles. 3.14 M M G + � 24% individual providers to participate in actions they find religiously or morally objectionable. Some providers for example, object for religious or moral reasons to providing or referring for abortions or assisted suicide, among other procedures. These statutes also provide protections against discrimination based on individuals' religious or moral beliefs about certain health care services. Several provisions also protect the conscience rights of certain federally funded health care entities to not participate in actions they find religiously or morally objectionable. Regarding patients, other provisions clarify that certain programs related to mental health treatment, hearing screening programs, occupational illness testing, and compulsory health care services generally are not to be construed to require patients to receive certain health care services to which they object based on religious or moral beliefs.

For example, for several seconds an unctuous beady - eyed Southern preacher is shown pounding the pulpit in rage against "those perverted, abominable creatures." While his tirade continues over the soundtrack, the picture switches to heart-rending photos of badly beaten persons, or of gays who look decent, harmless, and likeable; and then we cut back to the poisonous face of the preacher. The contrast speaks for itself. The effect is devastating. The viewer will ordinarily recoil from these images of victimizers, thinking automatically: "I don't like those maniacs, don't want to be like them, and would be ashamed if others thought I was like them. Surely I'm more compassionate and sophisticated, because I don't share their irrational hatred of gays." Every time a viewer runs through this comparative self -appraisal, he reinforces a self -definition that consciously rejects homohatred and validates sympathy for gay victims. Exactly what we want. A particularly effective means of jamming has been to redefine the homosexual as a victim. The authors wrote, "In any campaign to win over the public, gays must be portrayed as victims in need of protection so that straights will be inclined by reflex to adopt the role of protector.... The purpose of victim imagery is to make straights feel very uncomfortable; that is, to jam with shame the self-righteous pride that would ordinarily accompany and reward their antigay belligerence, and to lay groundwork for the process < O 101 'L,� W 0 N 0 A Equally important as the strategy of desensitization is something they referred to as "jamming" According to the authors of After the Ball, "Jamming makes use of the rules of Associative Conditioning (the psychological process whereby, when two things are repeatedly juxtaposed, one's feelings about one thing are transferred to the other) and Direct Emotional Modeling (the inborn tendency of human beings to feel what they perceive others to be feeling.)"5 One means of accomplishing this is to unfairly associate everyone who opposes homosexuality with the radical beliefs and actions of fringe extremists. They wrote:6 In TV and print, images of victimizers can be combined with those of their gay victims by a method propagandists call the "bracket technique." For example, for several seconds an unctuous beady - eyed Southern preacher is shown pounding the pulpit in rage against "those perverted, abominable creatures."

It aims to protect individuals and entities who, based on their religious or moral beliefs, object to participating in certain activities, such as providing services or support related to same -sex marriage, and prevents them from being discriminated against for holding these beliefs. Such provisions can be found in various federal laws or regulations, including those related to the Affordable Care Act and HHS funding. oo Your Protections Against Discrimination Based on...

People were gay and nobody cared, everyone just got on with their lives. Then they created pride and pushed it hard on everybody. Taking down country flags and raising the pride flag. Added it to all sporting and public events. This wasn't about celebrating differences, it was to keep that division alive. They knew the more they pushed it on people the more it would divide them. Pride is reversing all the work done by the Igbtq community and is actually increasing homophobia. It's not the message and what it stands for that is the problem. It's the way it's forced on you and their is no way to avoid it. Force anything on anyone and it will get push backs. Just enjoy your life, go about your business and stop promoting division. 802.`.

Al Overview G` +9 Several sources discuss President Trump's executive orders related to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and their potential impact on large nonprofit organizations. Key Impacts on Large Nonprofits: • Potential loss of federal funding: Nonprofits that rely on federal grants, particularly those focused on DEI initiatives, may be at risk of losing funding if their programs are seen as prioritizing certain demographic groups over "merit -based" criteria. • Increased scrutiny and potential investigations: Large nonprofits (those with assets of $500 million or more) could be subject to investigations by federal agencies regarding their DEI practices. • Changes in grant and contract terms: Federal contracts and grants may require certifications that organizations do not operate DEI programs that violate applicable federal anti -discrimination laws. • Adjustments to program language: Nonprofits may need to reframe their DEI initiatives to emphasize "equal opportunity" rather than focusing on specific identity -based inclusion efforts. • Need to diversify funding sources: Organizations previously dependent on federal support may need to seek alternative funding from private foundations and donors to maintain their DEI work.

However, some information about its relationship with government funding is available: • Clarvida is a partner to government agencies, including those involved in privatizing human services. • Clarvida accepts Medicaid (Medi-Cal in California) and Medicare. These programs are funded through federal and state resources, suggesting that Clarvida receives payments through these programs for services provided to eligible clients. For example, their Orange County Children Center provides Medi-Cal funded mental health services. • Clarvida participates in the Department of Children's Services (DCS) program, which provides financial assistance to foster families to meet the essential needs of children. While the specific amount of federal funds flowing through this channel to Clarvida isn't specified, it indicates an involvement with programs receiving government support. • Clarvida's founding was influenced by a call for increasing government initiatives to privatize human services.

Increased scrutiny and potential investigations: Large nonprofits (those with assets of $500 million or more) could be subject to investigations by federal agencies regarding their DEI practices. * Changes in grant and contract terms: Federal contracts and grants may require certifications that organizations do not operate DEI programs that violate applicable federal anti -discrimination laws. * Adjustments to program language: Nonprofits may need to ref rame their DEI initiatives to emphasize "equal opportunity" rather than focusing on specific identity -based inclusion efforts. * Need to diversify funding sources: Organizations previously dependent on federal support may need to seek alternative funding from private foundations and donors to maintain their DEI work. G" Go gle Sign in q clarvida federal funding Al Mode All News Images ♦ Al Overview x Y Short videos Forums &1 +5 Clarvida is a behavioral health organization that partners with government agencies to provide services. They work with government funding programs to address community needs and support individuals and families, particularly within the juvenile justice, child welfare, and school systems. Clarvida also focuses on providing services through Medi-Cal and Indigent funding to address specific populations' needs. Here's a breakdown of how federal funding relates to Clarvida: • Partnership with Government Agencies: Clarvida's business model involves partnering with government agencies, including those utilizing federal funds, to deliver services. • Medi-Cal and Indigent Funding: Clarvida receives funding through programs like Medi-Cal to provide services to specific populations within the juvenile justice, child welfare, and school systems. • Response to Government Initiatives: Clarvida was founded in response to a call for increased government initiatives to privatize human services, indicating their role in delivering services funded 0 °o google.com/search?q=pres + C3 Specific Executive Orders: • Executive Order 14173 ("Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit -Based Opportunity"): Rescinds previous DEI-related executive orders and directs federal agencies to identify potential targets for civil investigations into organizations with DEI programs deemed discriminatory. It also requires federal contractors and grantees to certify that they do not operate illegal DEI programs. • Executive Order 14151 ("Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing"): Directs the termination of federal DEI programs and offices. Important Considerations: • Legal challenges: Some of these executive orders are facing legal challenges, with one federal judge issuing a preliminary injunction against portions of the DEI and Environmental Justice EOs. The long- term impact of these orders may depend on the outcomes of this litigation. • Uncertainty and lack of clarity: There is ongoing uncertainty about what specific DEI activities or programs are considered "illegal" under the executive orders. • Continued need for anti -discrimination efforts: Organizations must continue to comply with federal and state anti -discrimination laws, and eliminating all DEI programs could increase the risk of discrimination claims. o" Here's a breakdown of how federal funding relates to Clarvida: • Partnership with Government Agencies: Clarvida's business model involves partnering with government agencies, including those utilizing federal funds, to deliver services. • Medi-Cal and Indigent Funding: Clarvida receives funding through programs like Medi-Cal to provide services to specific populations within the juvenile justice, child welfare, and school systems. • Response to Government Initiatives: Clarvida was founded in response to a call for increased government initiatives to privatize human services, indicating their role in delivering services funded through government programs. • Addressing Community Needs: Clarvida aims to address community needs by accessing resources available through government agencies. • Innovation and Growth: Clarvida is committed to growth and modernization, which may involve exploring and securing various funding sources to expand their reach and impact, including potentially through federal grants and initiatives designed to support behavioral health services and innovation. 60 In summary, Clarvida's operations are closely tied to government funding, including programs that receive federal support. They act as a provider of services under these programs, serving various communities and populations, and aim to expand their reach and impact by leveraging available resources. JGI V II.GJ. • Clarvida accepts Medicaid (Medi-Cal in California) and Medicare. These programs are funded through federal and state resources, suggesting that Clarvida receives payments through these programs for services provided to eligible clients. For example, their Orange County Children Center provides Medi-Cal funded mental health services. • Clarvida participates in the Department of Children's Services (DCS) program, which provides financial assistance to foster families to meet the essential needs of children. While the specific amount of federal funds flowing through this channel to Clarvida isn't specified, it indicates an involvement with programs receiving government support. • Clarvida's founding was influenced by a call for increasing government initiatives to privatize human services. The company also aims to deepen relationships with state governments and payers to receive recognition for its services. 61 In summary, while the precise figure cannot be pinpointed, it's clear that Clarvida is involved with and receives funding through government programs like Medicaid, Medicare, and those related to foster care, likely through contracts and partnerships with government agencies. The company's business model appears to be centered on providing human services and behavioral health support, and it partners with government entities to address community needs.

Evelyn Alonso (she/theylella) Yale University lonatlsan Edwards ColleW'27 Good evening Mayor, City Councilmembers, and City Staff, My name is Evelyn Alonso, and I am a resident of Anaheim in District 2, alumni of Anaheim High School, and a current Yale student. I'm speaking today to request that the City of Anaheim implement a community alert system to notify residents when Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations are occurring in our area. These past weeks have escalated forced family separations and deportations to a level never seen before. Many Anaheim residents live in fear of unforeseen enforcement actions, which disrupt livelihoods, and erode trust between immigrant communities and local government. A transparent alert system —similar to how we are notified of emergencies or safety concerns —would allow residents to make informed decisions and take necessary safeguards to protect themselves and their families. This is not about obstructing federal law; it's about ensuring due process and human dignity. Our community deserves to know when potentially life -altering actions are happening in our home. It is heartbreaking to witness these changes in the public city landscape. Churches, community events, schools, and workplaces have a newfound sense of silence and fear. Through the work of generations of immigrants and citizens alike, we have built a beautiful diverse city full of life. These attacks are not just targeting a small minority, but the very fabric of what makes Anaheim Anaheim. This attack demands actions that not only recognize the contributions and rights of our immigrant community but actively works to keep our city safe. I urge the Council to explore existing policy options or partnerships that would allow Anaheim to notify residents —via text, email, or app alert —when credible reports of ICE activity are confirmed in our area. Thank you for your time, and I hope you'll take this crucial step to keep Anaheim a place where all families feel safe and informed.

Good taflemoon, this is my public conrmt Good evening Mayor, City Councilmembers, and City Staff, My name is Saul Alonso, and I am a resident of Anaheim in District 2 and a proud member of the OC Youth Movement. I'm speaking today to respectfully request that the City of Anaheim implement a community alert system to notify residents when Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations are occurring in our area. Many Anaheim residents live in fear of unexpected enforcement actions, which can separate families, disrupt livelihoods, and erode trust between immigrant communities and local government. An example of this is the recent incident in Pearson Park, where ICE was chasing people down while no one did anything about it. A transparent alert system —similar to how we are notified of emergencies or safety concerns —would allow residents to make informed decisions and take necessary precautions to protect themselves and their families. This is not about obstructing federal law; it's about ensuring due process and human dignity. Our community deserves to know when potentially life -altering actions are happening in their neighborhoods. I know firsthand how this has impacted our community. As a practicing Catholic I have noticed people actively living in fear. On Sundays, during the 12pm mass, it is usually packed, and now barely any people attend, out of fear of it being taken by ICE. Anaheim can lead in protecting the safety and well-being of all its residents. In addition, many families are worried about how all of this is going to impact their kids' education. Our community is scared to drop off or pick up their children. Although school is currently not in session, many students are still trying to take traditional summer classes or Dual enrollment classes. The recent raids may cause less and less students to attend school and develop their education. How is the city of Anaheim going to deal with this problem, especially when school is back in session. As a US citizen I should not have to carry a copy of my passport everywhere I go just because ICE might detain me based on how I look. ❑iscrimination should not be happening in our communities and especially in this way. I urge the Council to explore policy options or partnerships that would allow Anaheim to notify residents —via text, email, or app alert —when credible reports of ICE activity are confirmed in our area. Thank you for your time, and I hope you'll take this important step to keep Anaheim a place where all families feel safe and informed.

Instead of the word <rrember> 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 ru rnbers that are basically the equivalent of a Medical Record Nurriber (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", erg it subject to President Ttwnp's Executive Order regarding DEL Clarvida received and continues to receive a significant amount of Federal funding. Clarvida maintains, or permts 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 fi-oni quietly praying Clarvida employees have rrilita dly 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 urdernourshed people into LGBTQ+ activities. Clarvida engages in groenvng behavior byprornulgating 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 dirninished mental capacity. Some of the Patients have severe psychosis and are tenable to make rational, inforrried decisions about their sexual choices. Some Patients haw 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 Traurrn 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 lffestyle. Clarvida's Wellness SoLth Calendar shows another pride event on June 26th - the 10 year anniversary of Obergefell vs Hodges. Clarvida staffpicked 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 Christkans. or for that nritter any otlx r Abrahan-iic religion to auerd the Stonewall day celebration and quote the Judeo-Christian Bible, including verscs in the. Torah or tlx: New Tcsumvrt retgarding hommosexwlity. Clarvida staff will not allow anyone to state ficts contruy to LGBT+ pros ain ming. For example, that there are only 2 genders, or articulate the belief that every member of Humanity was created mmle or ferrale. Clarvida staff will not allow anyone to offer their view that rrart iage is the Sacred union of one male and one femrale. Clarvida staff will not allow anyone to articulate the viewpoint that gender is biological and kraitable. Clarvida will not penrit 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 mrposmg these speech restrictions, Cbivida is deliberately prormting one worldview or ideology over another. At least a few Patients who identify as Atheist or non -Religious have cornplamed the incessant gay centered activities were too much and promoted over regalar activities. Clarvida does not inform Patients of their Rights to make grievances directly to the Countys Health Care Agency. (OCHCA) This concludes my questions, at least for now. Please strive to respond withrtl 2 business days so the situation can be appropriately assessed. You are welcome to direct your reply to Mass Resistance.

(ICE Alerts) Good evening Madame Mayor, City Councilmembers, and City Staff, My name is Michael Mendiola Garcia,. and I am a resident of Anaheim's District 1, near Beach and Orange. I'm here today to respectfully request that the City of Anaheim implement a community alert system to notify residents when Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations are occurring in our area. Anaheim is recognized as a "Welcoming City," but this designation alone is not enough. It falls short in offering real, tangible protection or peace of mind to many of our immigrant residents. As a teacher, I have met students and families who are living with the constant fear of sudden enforcement actions. These actions can separate families, disrupt livelihoods, and damage the already fragile trust between our immigrant communities and local government. A reliable alert system —much like those we use for public safety warnings —would empower residents with timely information, helping them make choices to keep themselves and their families safe. To be clear, this isn't about interfering with federal enforcement. It's about upholding the principles of due process, protecting basic human dignity, and ensuring our neighbors are not left in the dark when significant events impact their lives. Simply harnng a "Welcoming City" policy is not enough if, in practice, we stand by silently when federal enforcement causes hams in our community. By implementing a community alert system, Anaheim would be taking a proactive step —one that demonstrates genuine care for the safety and well-being of all residents. I urge the Council to explore policy optio-is or partnerships that would allow for text, email, or app-based alerts when credible reports of ICE activity are confirmed. Thank you for your time. I ask that you take this step toward keeping Anaheim a place where all families feel safe, seen, and supported.

Members informed us today the *real* reason there is no Open Art is because Art Sessions are now geared towards "pride-themed" creations • UPDATE JUNE 91h in re the calendar originally submitted to and approved by the County of Orange staff: it did include the Trauma Recovery Group. After the calendar was approved, the Wellness Center staff made unauthorized changes. As a reminder, all Wellness Center staff are employed by Clarvida, but the approval and oversight comes from the County. A copy of the original calendar originally put out May 3W' is attached so you can see the differences. There is no option in the alternative on June 201h. While its true that the calendar claims "if you would like to participate", there are no other activities if one does NOT desire to participate — and therein lies the crux of the problem. It's not "optional" if there are no other choices. There is also not the possibility to opt out of jewelry making and art class which are both "pride" centric all month long. It is obvious this event will not end at 2 or even 2:30 pm. Also, the level of intense preparation for the event, including distribution of free catered food means staff will be occupied and unable to run classes as early as 10:30 am. June 20th IS 1S AN ALL -DAY EVENT It is particularly noteworthy that the ONE single Wellness Center that is operated, staff and managed by County employees is not having anv "pride" themed or related events. Their calendar can be seen here . its WHOLESOME and everyone is included and nobody has to feel unsafe or worried about being groomed hUr)s;flweII nesscento,rvyest.orglcalendar-1 EHTFRSS JUNE 2025 WEST cKa�Y M9YN['.

Members are also told to come make jewelry for "pride" all month long. Many members are DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED to various degrees, and thus especially Vulnerable to grooming. A significant minority of members of the Wellness Center are not allowed to obtain a driver's license from the State of Ca or open a bank account due to some of them having mild-to- mmlertte mental retardation. Many are under full or partial con sery ttor�hip. Thesc :ire not adults who can "jusl.sal, ern" Even those jijcwber:, \� lit, arry 01)lk to make everyday :Adult decisions for themselves should iwl be forced into participation by &Liull !iot should they licive tclnrfeit crucial classes that are cancelled due to the "pride" celebration. The times on the calendar are not accurate. Just because something has a "start time" does not mean there are other options before and after. By way of example: last week's Member Carnival, which began at noon, members started lining up by 10:30 am for free food and staff was busy signing members in and assisting with the food truck. That left no staff to run classes, and the event did not end until well after 4 pin, with regular activities resuming around 5 pm. It is also unethical to lure Wellness Center members — many of whom are food insecure - into this event with free catered food.. Enticing participation by offering a free meal is targeted promotion of the hen wo cxuaP transexual/ pansexual agenda to vulnerable persons 401 S Tit�,tin Street in Orange is technically COUNTY PROPERTY and in 2023 the OC BoS vntcd to 13,,�N "pt ide" flags from county buildings. The Wellness Center is situ.ited in a compound �, 1wi-c literally I I ()ther buildin-s are county owiie[i and operated and that cater to Dkablcd an�d Mentally r Behaviorally r.hallcn"ed P011ulations, who are in need of care centric services that enhance thel well. being. I am writing this letter out of goodwill and compassion for those whose voices are left unheard and whose safety is being recklessly disregarded. I_ am especially crtncerned about survivors of Sexual Assault Child Sex Abuse and Human Trafficking. Will the County take responsibility for harassment against those who disagree with the "pride celebration" as well in situations where innocent persons are F,3-upcd nr .sexually Irtrassed as is so common at these types of pride-themed events ? To protect the vulnerable members, 1 ask you move the pride event off site and cease inducing or coercing members to participate in "pride' themed aetivitiesTltcir safety should take first priority over displays of sexual vulgarity.

The Clarvida Wellness Center Central is pushing PRIDE propaganda and perversion on the patients. They have contacted MassResistance, asking for our help. We can shut this down, but we need Orange County residents such as yourselves to contact them and tell them they need to get rid of all this PRIDE propaganda being pushed on the patients. Please Contact Alycia Wallace and Sohail Eftekharzadeh, the program directors at the facility; Alycia.wallaceCctclaryida.corn Sohail.eftekllarzadeh a,clarvida.com Phone: (714) 361-4864 Here are some talking points for use when confronting the administration of the wellness center. 1. The facility is violating the Orange County Board of Supervisors' flag policy (notice the photo, etc.) 2 2. Patients in the facility are very upset but are afraid to speak out for fear of being ejected. CA MassResistance, Orange County: Shut Down PRIDE at the Clarvida Wellness Center 3. The facility is promoting a virulently anti-Christian political movement that represents destructive and unhealthy sexual perversions. You do not support drunkenness, drug abuse, or other toxic behaviors. A health facility is the last place where promotion of homosexuality and transgenderism is appropriate.

G� �`' I F `J ]F raV Lam( a C Clarvida d/b/a Wellness Center: It is essential for you to understand that forcing or pressuring participants in any Mental Health or Behavioral Health program - to participate in a LGBTQ+ theme "pride" event, is unacceptable and a serious violation of their Civil Flights. All healthcare settings must strive to be inclusive and welcoming to every patient or participant. You may not induce - let alone compel - anyone to take part in such event against his or her will. Promoting LBGT pride should never involve coercion or mandatory participation. Since there is no other activity to be involved in during the scheduled timeframe; it is automatic de facto unlawful coercion, precisely because no alternative exists. The current "social agreement" in place and actively enforced by staff - which you require all participants to abide by as a condition of membership - states with specificity that "white on [ Wellness Center] premises members SHALL participate in an activity". Refer to it. Then reflect on the profoundly brazen illegality of it. Every one seeking services from the Wellness Center had to sign off agreeing to the terms and conditions of the social agreement. These also include a clause that offensive words are grounds for instant suspension, but does not specify what could or would be defined as "offensive speech". By 1) offering ONLY a "pride" event during a designated time and 2) not offering an alternative "opt -out" activity combined with 3) the vague, ambiguous prohibition on "offensive speech" Clarvida is creating a classic case of what's called "impossibility". Meaning it is impossible for every individual to comply with. Indeed- what you have planned seems in every way orchestrated in a manner that guarantees to set at least some participants up for failure. It would behoove you to research the legalities of this thoroughly because our judicial system has long established that creating a condition of impossibility is unlawful. You are engineering a situation where parties on one side of a divisive topic must go along with something they are opposed to - or face suspension. They can't voice dissent because it might be perceived as "offensive'' by someone on the side you support. You are hosting a "celebration" of a highly contentious socio-cultural issue while knowing full well at least some participants will be utterly opposed to what you are promulgating. In a clearly antagonistic spirit, you are further creating discomfort and angst by failing to offer an alternate activity for those who want no part of your ''pride" event. As the final insult, you pre-emptively shut down any potential disagreement by using the ''social agreement'' as a cudgel to beat opponents of your agenda into silence and submission. Your June 20th''pride'' event is tantamount to baiting in that you are setting the stage for inevitable strife. Your cause is not even a worthy one, even by objective standards. You are promoting sexual deviance that is widely viewed as repulsive and repugnant, not to mention antithetical to "health and wetlness". Most disturbing is how more than a few Wellness Center participants are not fully functional adults and hence unable to knowingly make intelligent life choices for themselves. Your willful promotion of abnormat sexuality to mentally underdeveloped adults with severe cognitive deficiencies is the very textbook definition of grooming, You also have an illegal prohibition in place against participants attending the pride event and offering differing views and their opposing perspectives on the topic of LGBTQ+. Even when such deep and visceral views in opposition to the LGBQT+ lifestyle are based on one's cultural ideology, said viewpoints are every bit as valid as what you are promoting. In light of this: your not allowing them to be articulated is a violation of the First Amendment. Everyone has a Fundamental Right to verbalize their dissent. You don't seek to violate anyone's Constitutional Rights, correct? After all if you did, it could get very expensive. More problematic for Clarvida, is that opposition to the pride culture and lifestyle is more often based on sincerely held religious beliefs, rather than mere cultural worldviews. While verbalizing one's cultural ideology is unequivocally protected by the First Amendment, Freedom of Religion is even more fiercely guarded. That is because Religion has been ruled by the United States Supreme Court to be an "6mmutable charactereristic". On those grounds, you are thus opening the door to Clarvida being sued on both Freedom of Speech and Free Exercise of Religion. Is this what you desire to bring upon yourselves? Any program participant attending the event has the unfettered Right to freely quote from the Bible. Such readings probably will include verses that repudiate and condemn homosexual acts as well as verses which define marriage as the union of a male and a female exclusively.. Scripture also categorically states there can only be two genders. Refusing to allow any of the above Beliefs to be verbally articulated is an automatic violation of Freedom of Religion under the laws of the United States and its Constitution because you all are wholly, entirely funded by the County of ©range. As stated above; if not allowing someone to verbalize a cultural worldview on this topic is unlawful, how much more tegal trouble will you land in for saying someone cannot read from the Sacred Books corresponding to the religion of which they are a known adherent? In plain English: You cannot demand a program participant check their cultural views nor their personal opinions at the door. You have even less ground to stand on when someone's ideology is informed by their religious teachings. It's not even a matter of just Christianity. Literally every Abrahamaic Faith, beginning with Judaism and continuing with Christianity and even Islam - actually especially Islam - is diametrically opposed to homosexuality and transvestism. As Christianity goes; It's important to realize that the Judeo-Christian Bible does not condemn same -sex attraction writ Large, nor is it written that homosexual tendencies are by themselves sinful. Scripture states these temptations become sinful only when acted upon or promoted and encouraged by and to others. To that end some of us would be delighted to come and lovingly inform the "pride" celebrants of superb programs like Courage and other Faith -based organizations that promote abstention in lieu of harmful sexually deviant Lifestyle choices. Of course, there is also the option of reparative Therapy or Conversion Therapy and we can share those opportunities too. While that does not fall within the ambit of religion, it is perfectly legal to promote such cures as a matter of Free Speech. It is patently unlawful for Clarvida to silence any discussion of the above. You also cannot deny membership to new walk-ins who seek to join Wellness Center the same week, or even the day of the event. You've always given immediate and free membership to anyone walking in and registering. Membership has always been granted unconditionally and took effect instantaneously upon completion of a tour and reading and signing the "Social Agreement". Failure to allow walk-ins to join this week would open Clarvida up to charges of Discrimination. This is especially true if you turn down prospective new members because you suspect they might be joining to support existing members who feel uncomfortable in the environment you have placed them in. Isolatingvulnerable persons from their support system. is indeed a favorite tactic of groomers and abusers, isn't it though? So while you might think yourselves free to continue with the pride event, you would do well to consider the one inevitable consequences of following through with your plan, because it may not be a happy ending - for anyone. Finally: you are recklessly risking Clarvida's Federal funding as well as its tax-exempt status by even holding this pride event. Said event is in gross violation of the President's Executive Order on DEI, which specifically targets large nonprofits - in particular those receiving Federal funding. You could, of course challenge said EO in court. But unless you actually do so — AND — obtain temporary judicial relief prior to June 20th Clarvida will be automatically deemed in violation and can expect to face the just consequences that are sure to quickly follow. These could include the loss of current and future government aid, as well as revocation of your tax-exempt status. It's safe to assume any offended party will seek to {pursue bath penalties against Clarvida. Yes, it's accurate that a Federal District Court judge in San Francisco recently issued a *TEMPORARY* Injunction which partially struck down portions of the aforementioned Executive Order. Lest you get too comfortable, consider the US Department of Justice is already aggressively appealing the questionable judgment to a Federal Appeals Court. Even more unfortunately for Clarvida, only the named plaintiffs in that particular lawsuit were given temporary, partial relief from the Presidential Executive Order.. At last inspection, Clarvida was not a named Plaintiff in that case..Given that the judge did not see fit to issue a blanket, nationwide injunction; his temporary order of relief does not apply to Clarvida, nor is Clarvida protected by proxy. Let us know how you intend to proceed. CA MassResistance, Orange County: Shut Down PRIDE at the Clarvida Wellness Center Hello, team! We need your help!

As a reminder, all Wellness Center staff are employed by Clarvida, but the approval and oversight comes from the County. A copy of the original calendar originally put out May 301' is attached so you can see the differences. There is no option in the alternative on June 201". While its true that the calendar claims "if you would like to participate", there are no other activities if one does NOT desire to participate — and therein lies the crux of the problem. It's not "optional" if there are no other choices. There is also not the possibility to opt out of jewelry making and art class which are both "pride" centric all month long. It is obvious this event will not end at 2 or even 2:30 pm. Also, the level of intense preparation for the event, including distribution of free catered food means staff will be occupied and unable to run classes as early as 10:30 am. June 201h IS IS AN ALL -DAY EVENT It is particularly noteworthy that the ONE single Wellness Center that is operated, staff and managed by County employees is not having any "pride" Chemed or related events.

That left n+) ,i;.tlf to run classes, and the event did not end until �kell after 4 pnt. ��ith regular activities resuming around 5 pm. It is also unethical to lure Wellness Center members — many of whom are food insecure - into this event with free catered food. Enticing participation by offering a free meal is targeted promotion of the homosexual/ transe:xuaV panscrual agenda to vulncrahlc I)er,rtns. 401 S Tustin Street in t lranw=e is technically COL'1:"1-"Y` PROYI-RTy' and in 2023 the OC BoS voted to BAN "pride" flags from county buildings- The Wellness Center is s'Quated in a compound where literally ALL other buildings are county owned and operated and that cater to Disabled and Mentally or Behaviorally challenged populations, whit aIc In F1ecd of cafe centric scr,� ices that enhance their well being. I am writing this letter out of-oodwill and compassion for those whose voices are left unheard and whose safety is being recklcs,ly dl-,rcgnii-:led. I am especially concerned about survivors of Sexual Assault, Child Sex Abuse and Human Trafficking. Will the County take responsibility for harassment against those «ho disagree \k ith the "pride celebration" as \ -ell in ,ituations vJiere innocent persons are groped or sexually harassed as is so common at these types of pride-themed c,, ents ? To protect the vulnerable memhcrs, I ask } ou mu%c the bride cyent tiff site and ease inducing or coercing members to participate in "pride" themed activitiesTheir safety should take first priority over displays of sexual vulgarity.

Good Evening Madame Mayor, City Council members, and City Staff, My name is Alae Sidi Mohamed, and I am a resident of Anaheim. I am speaking today to respectfully request that the City of Anaheim make an active effort to organize mental health resources for the immigrant population in our city. Many Anaheim residents live in fear of going to work, attending social functions„ or even shopping for basic necessities due to the possibility of unexpected enforcement actions. The mental toll of having to consider your every move is incredibly anxiety inducing, especially fer residents who have families tc� feed. rent to pay, and businesses to run. Personally, having spoken to friends and other loved ones who are at risk of losing their livelihood, I notice the hesitation in their voices before they can even articulate the pain they are in. Due to the lack of trust in government as a result of the current ICE raids, it makes perfect sense why many are choosing to suffer in silence. No child should have fear plague their every thought as they wonder whether or not their guardian will make it home from work tonight. No working parent should have to choose between putting food on the table or leaving their job for the sake of safety. In the 21 st century, in the land of the free, and in the land of opportun1y, nobody should be subjected to live in survival mode. Council members can host distract or city wide events to bring jay and resources to the community. Examples would be legal clinics to educate residents on their rights or mental health clinics for residents who are feeling helpless. It could even be something as simple as a cross-cultural festival, or community healing circles. I implore you, as a resident witnessing this mental crisis 2nd hand, please collaborate with medical professionals, Nonprofits such as Ocapica, and other Orange County organizations who specialize in mental health, to bring as much relief as possible to our residents. I believe that right now, more than ever, we need to know its okay to enjoy our lives during these scary times. Joy is a human right and it should be accessible no matter what your legal status is.
