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.

It just makes me sick at the depths this city will sink to have an official of the City of Santa Ana (Sean Mill) make uncalled-for rude and belittling remarks to a resident of the City.
Where is enforcement of the Santa Ana Code of Ethics and Conduct when you need it?
Sean Mill - You are a shame disgrace to all associated with the City of Santa Ana. Your unprofessional and mean-spirited behavior is on display for all to witness.
Santa Ana says: “The Community Forum is an invitation only event to facilitate candid dialog among the participants.”
That is BS – the forum is by invitation only in order to silence the true community. They could easily accommodate SA residents by asking for respect for all of the panelists and taking some questions in written form from the community.
Anyone who participates in this sham is complicit in the quashing of the right of free speech for the residents of Santa Ana.
I am surprised that Vern Nelson from OJB did not jumped into a fray here knowing that he is the biggest anti-Smytic hater educated in Santa Ana prestigious private Catholic High School which he is covering up by vigorously accusing others of anti-Semitism.
The old Bohemian cliché is teaching us: "The one who screams fire is the one who started it"
