Santa Ana Mayor Pro Tem Claudia Alvarez and the City of Santa Ana are hosting a “Community Forum on Cultural Diversity and Conflict Resolution.” The forum will “focus on the Jewish – Latino experience as it relates to their shared history and common desire to promote social justice and economic prosperity.”
Here is the invitation that Alvarez emailed to her constituents this week:
Please Join Us As An “Agent of Change” For Our Community
I would personally like to invite you to attend a Community Forum on Cultural Diversity and Conflict Resolution, hosted by the City of Santa Ana, on Thursday, October 27, 2011. The Community Forum will be held at the Santa Ana Police Community Room located at 60 Civic Center Drive, Santa Ana from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
The purpose of the forum is to explore how diverse communities can resolve conflict in a culturally sensitive manner. We are extending an invitation to a cross-section of individuals and organizations to ensure full representation of our community. However, this forum will focus on the Jewish – Latino experience as it relates to their shared history and common desire to promote social justice and economic prosperity.
Additionally, we are pleased to confirm the participation of the American Jewish Committee, Anti-Defamation League, Latino-Jewish Coalition and Orange County Human Relations Commission. The Community Forum will consist of the following three components and will be moderated by Michele Ruiz of the Latino Jewish Coalition:
Jewish/Latino Communities – The Latino-Jewish Coalition
You have been invited to attend with the hope that you will join us as “agents of change” in spreading the knowledge and message from this forum to our respective communities. We look forward to your participation and ask that you join us for the entire program.
Please RSVP with the City of Santa Ana, City Manager’s Office, at 714.647.5200 or by email at mlawrence@santa-ana.org by October 20th.

Occupy New Santa Ana Day 7.5
Looking forward to visit from Alvarez @ Occupy Irvine.
I wish her luck with the Latino Jewish experience.
She will be on P.C. overdrive for sure.
At the Occupy Camp, I will not.
That is the joy of being a liberated American.
Appreciate freedom while it is still here.
This is the most important free form expression that the city of Irvine has ever had.
Are they going to pull a smack down on the People?
We'll find out.
Santa Ana is next.
We had first meet up for Occupy Santa Ana tonight.
All went well.
The cops are not looking forward to us. I like Gominsky and Mc Coy but I can tell that this is not there cup of tea. Maybe we will bring them chocolate and home made currency. Peace Out.
You can bring carrots and apples for the cops' horses.
"Mayor Pro Tem Alvarez to host a forum about the Jewish-Latino experience"...... Hmmmmm
Phony as $20 bill.
Aaaww.. She's going to change in a two Months on how she feels about Jews.. Sure.. Inhave no respect for Her, the Mayor, City Manager/ Police Chief or the Council.. Anything goes in Santa Ana..
Are you or Sean going admin?
I wasn't invited.
"I wasn’t invited"
It is a "Community Forum" - you are part of the Community admin. - you ARE invited. Find another excuse.
Seems to be a pretty narrow focus "Jewish-Latino experience".
How about us non-latino gentiles? Where do we fit in? The last time I checked we were part of the cultural diversity of Santa Ana.
No lunch for gentile whitey.
The LOC and the other flame fanning idiots did a pretty good job of distracting everyone.
While city business languishes, Alverez is Bashed, Bustamonte is hiding, Martinez seemed poised for a NAME GRABBING run.
Mexican-Jews are the LEAST of this cities worries, slightly above animal rapists in the sewers!
"Seems to be a pretty narrow focus “Jewish-Latino experience”.

The invitation states: (all are invited).....discussion will involve all communities with the focus on the "Jewish -Latino experience".

I believe this request was called by the Santa Ana Council, Jewish ADL, the Jewish-Latino Coalition and the OC Human Relation Commission(OCHRC).
The agenda was not a Councilwoman Alvarez individual decision. She is organizing the Community Forum in order to address the false anti-semitism claim against her........this was recommended by the City council, OCHRC and the Jewish groups participating in the community forum.
What a hypocritical waste of taxpayer resources for a city which is on the verge of bankruptcy. Sarmiento and Alvarez should be embarrassed at this "punishment" which makes the racist Alvarez appear as a leader in race and ethnic relations.
Did you feel the same way about the private taxpayer funded party that Beth Krom threw at the great park a few weeks ago?
"which makes the racist Alvarez appear as a leader in race and ethnic relations."
Racist....in what manner?
Hypocrite...in what manner?
