Silence Is killing US!

As someone who fits in many suppressed demographics, I felt that no one was listening. I saw the killing of George Floyd and knew a stand had to be taken. I was actively protesting and pushing everything I'm pushing now. Many people asked me to be a voice for them, as they were scared and I was not. How can I say no when my neighbors are asking for someone to lead? I am not a part the dirty politics and recycled groomed candidates. Now is the time for change and diversity.

Why Now?

What Stigma and how do we break it?

Stigma

What I would like to stress to everyone is that our mentally ill are people as well. They have emotions and feelings. Sometimes the way they express themselves isn't what we see as normal, but it's the only way they are able to get it out. It's not a crime to be overwhelmed, stressed, confused, and scared. They just express it differently and we shouldn't see this as criminal behavior. Unless they are immediately threatening themselves or others don't call the police. This could end in unnecessary pain and suffering. If we feel so compelled to act, lets create a task force to help these people get the help they need. If not then just leave them alone.

Have to start somewhere

* Start Anti-Racism lessons in schools

* Better/Affordable after school programs and child care options

* Resource centers (near the Second Harvest Food Drive)

Some problems have multiple solutions and some solutions solve multiple problems. To fix symptomatic issues, find the root of the issue and start there. Its a trickle down effect, for example budge; if we can get our city finances in better shape and reallocate money, we can fund our cemetery, and programs. I think city manager and city council should sit with an financial adviser every so many years to get input.

Ideas

Brain Storm

* Follow state mandates and guidelines

I proposed once we reach a phase where we start letting kids attend school, we should consider minimum class sizes. We should consider letting children who are at risk of failing and not understanding the material and small classroom sizes of 10 or less with one teacher and one aid. The children that have all the tools and are doing well with online learning should be allowed to continue that progress. We should consider allowing are truly needy and at-risk kids that don't have the tools to be successful in an online environment. This is just a small solution and I know it has errors such as what about working parents but together we can figure that out.

Plan

Mask and Reopening

WEAR A MASK IT SHOULDN'T BE A DEBATE!!!!!!!

Inconvenience shouldn't outweigh Health and Safety

Plan

*Working on getting more services switched to outdoors

* Better testing and tracing

*More resources for families and children to help keep up with social distancing, but still easing the mental burden of isolation

Boosting Local Econ

* Continue to roll out assistance programs/ vouchers

* Work with colleges about the student housing crisis

* Make hotels and businesses hire locally for different Tax cuts

* Work with surrounding cities to boost economy and support for local businesses

* Reach out to 5 point and Irvine Company to help ease city burdens and work with Housing Crisis

It's going to take time, support and dedication, but do able in my term. Together we will rise.

Plan

Constant Battle

Social injustice is something we have been battling for a while; We will continue this fight untill we see our freedom!

* Programs aimed at getting a diverse demographic involved in local and national government

*Gun education courses w/ IPD to promote safety with firearms

*Equality (gender,sexuality,race,religon etc.) in school programs and workforce (allow the girls to play football)

*DIVERSITY committee!!! They need to be able to look into racial claims and work with IPD in stopping racism in all it's forms

* 3rd party investigations for internal issues of racism and courrption

* Neighborhood watch to protect the community while not solely depending on IPD for simple calls or suspicious activity

Plan

I see this as entirely do able.

Where to start

* CCE , Clean energy

* Green New Deal

* Pros and cons of alternatives such as fracking, nuclear or solar power, and more

* Carbon Tax

Plan

New Political Order
