We will have a conversation with long time community activist and co-founder of Chicanos Unidos, Albert Castillo and other members of the community about the issue of policing in Santa Ana. We will discuss what the #DefundThePolice movement could look like in Santa Ana, the Police Officers Association's heavy lobbying efforts in city elections and at City Hall, AND we'll talk about the recent history of uprisings in Anaheim and Santa Ana.
As the nation grapples with the question of how each city addresses their own police department's misconduct and corruption, this is a timely conversation given the long history of abuse of power in Santa Ana, Anaheim, and other OC cities.
