I have an equity question: there were not any women nominated, would it be too late to give a last minute nomination ?

Chrysta Wilson [she/her] on unceded Kizh-Tongva-Gabrieleño Land (Los Angeles)

Nominations were closed: in order for nominations to be opened, there would have to be a request, and 2/3 of the folks who vote. If that passed, then nominations could be opened.

I support the nomination & election of Ray Zacarias as co-chair of this Subcommittee. In his work in the community, and with his lived experience as a formerly incarcerated person, Ray has tirelessly advocated for supportive services and diversion and re-entry programs that fulfill the needs of our communities who need it most. I look to Ray to guide the Measure J implementation process in a way that is accountable and in service of care not cages for LA County. Thank you.

Dominique Davis

01:52:27

Fabian Garcia

01:52:27

All the candidates are great, however Jose runs the largest reentry program in the County. He does so with structure and with heart and understanding.

Eric Jackson

01:52:32

I Eric Jackson vote for Sam Lewis

Dominique Davis

01:52:34

Appreciate your Chat comments

Alicia Anguiano

01:52:38

i support Sam lewis because he has direct experience and is consistent with the community

Mike Russo (he/him, Advancement Project)

01:52:41

I've been lucky enough to work with Ray -- he's got amazing, humbling experience on both sides of reentry, and has a real understanding of what's needed in all the different parts of LA to make sure all our communities get what they need. And he's a great partner and a key member of Reimagine LA so he's connected to the community

Bamby Salcedo

01:52:42

we need to vote for Ray Zacarias. ARC is monopolizing this. it's about the people not ARC

Alana Hassanein (she/her)

01:52:47

Extremely strong candidates. Ray Zacarias has my vote.

Celine Nehme

01:52:47

My name is Celine, and I wholeheartedly put my support behind Sam Lewis. He is an excellent leader, and as someone who is formerly incarcerated, he knows how to best support reentry work. As President of ARC, he commits himself to reentry work every single day and is a great support system to our Members. We would be lucky to have him represent us as a co-chair.

Steven Green

01:52:49

I support Sam Lewis. He supports his community and now his community is supporting him.

Edwin Lopez

01:53:06

Ricci Sergienko

01:53:21

People voted for measure j. Why wouldn’t we trust the coalition behind measure j to know who’s best to carry out the implementation?

Jacob Brevard

01:53:23

what about racial equity ?

Van Huynh (he/him)

01:53:32

all these candidates are great, but Jose Arellano highlights our need for representation of leaders who are truly overlooked and still in the trenches with those of us still struggling.

Alana Hassanein (she/her)

01:53:36

Makes sense, Ricci

Ricci Sergienko

01:53:40

If you supported measure j then it seems silly to go against their recommendation. just my opinion as an outsider

Maria Casillas (Pride In Truth)

01:53:42

#reimaginela = Measure J. Thank you to all that worked so hard to make MeasureJ happen!

Steve Nygaard (he/him)

01:53:45

Ricci makes a GREAT point

Clayton Rosa (he/him/his) Swell Creative Group

WHY ARE PEOPLE MAKING THIS ABOUT ARC

Raven Mcdowell

I can’t wait to see measure j carried out successfully. It will be a great model for everywhere else

Can candidates give comment right now?

Trinidad Ruiz

01:57:49

Alana Hassanein (she/her)

I am worried about the validity of this vote

Sophie

Ricci Sergienko

01:58:02

I’m worried that a candidate is speaking with extra time???

Trinidad Ruiz

01:58:07

please explain how the vote on zoom works.

Ricci Sergienko

01:58:16

A moderator should explain the rules

Juan Morales

01:58:20

how do we get to the zoom poll?

Aparna Shah l she/they

01:58:21

Ricci all nominees gave their presentations before voting

Núñez Esteban

01:58:33

Pamela Thompson

01:58:37

Yes good point Sam

Diana Jimenez (she/her)

01:58:40

click “poll in progress” on phone

Can we explain “phone” meaning calling in versus the zoom app?

Celine Nehme

01:58:50

thank you for pointing that out, Sam

Sarah Bowers (she/her)

01:58:53

01:59:17

Maybe someone can also explain to those using their phone how to vote via zoom by the poll

Andreya Garcia-Ponce De Leon

01:59:22

Are votes going to be counted to reflect accuracy

April Grayson

01:59:34

PEOPLE ARE SHOWING UP BASED OFF THEIR EXPERIENCES. NOBODY IS MAKING THIS ABOUT ARC. EXCEPT OTHERS WHO ARE OBVIOUSLY SUPPORTING THEIR PEOPLE, SAME AS WE ARE SUPPORTING OURS.

Shadeequa Smith

^^^^^^^^^^^

Celine Nehme

02:00:03

thank you, April

Cynthia Bryan

02:00:20

all of the people that verbally voted were on video this far. I believe it was 4 people that should not be counted for a verbal vote

Harrison | he/him

02:00:32

If we can't stay but have already voted via poll will our vote be recorded if we leave the meeting?

Dominique Davis

02:00:39

There are so many qualifiedcandidates thank you.all for your service. my name is Dominique Davis and I support Mr Sam Lewis he is well rounded in the struggles and triumphs of those impacted by incarceration across every Demographic. his experience in spaced with cdcr and thereentry entities that control our freedom once released he understands the needs of homelessness unemployment and other barriers we face upon reentry and avoiding recidivism i support SAM LEWIS

Cynthia Bryan

02:00:47

Robert Chavez ARC

02:00:55

I want to highlight the comment that was made when we were going through the agreements. It is very true that we are mindful of not concentrating on the orgs but the voices of our communities. That is why I nominate Sam Lewis.He has an depth understanding of the need of employment, housing, therapeutic spaces and much more. But above all an understanding how essential it is to continue to build community with our brothers and sisters. Sam recognizes how vital the voices of our community is by creating space where the voices of our inside and the outside communities are being heard and recognized. Voices that have brought many of our brothers and sisters home.

Van Huynh (he/him)

02:00:56

i’m so proud a

Lex Ryan (they/them)

I have the same question as Harrison

Alana Hassanein (she/her)

Cynthia Bryan

02:01:10

Only 4 were verbal and they were on the Zoom

Alex Cave

Andreya Garcia-Ponce De Leon

02:01:22

Is that excluding staff

Eunisses Hernandez

Ivette Ale

02:02:31

For the sake of time: Can we find out the breakdown of the digital votes that came in first? Additional votes may not make a difference in the results.

Doug Bond

02:02:39

Thank you Roberto

Jacob Brevard

02:02:42

the votes has already been casts

Ronaldo Villeda

02:02:45

How many of the people who showed up to vote today will actually actively continue to participate on these calls? I have a feeling not very many of them will..... this is not about ARC this is about re entry. Leave your biases at home. If you do not like ARC that is fine but don't vote against Sam out of spite for what you perceive our organization to be

Donanian-Blandón Nicole

Trinidad Ruiz

02:03:17

people have left this zoom call already. can we just redo the vote now?

Nykalette Silver

02:03:17

Possibly instead of saying by phone use "those who have dialed in" because some are on the zoom app on their phone so that may be where the confusion is.

Alana Hassanein (she/her)

02:03:19

I agree with Ivette

Cynthia Bryan

02:03:21

There were only 4 that voted verbally and were on video

Michele C (she/her)

02:03:24

Agreed, thanks Robert. Everyone is so committed to equity here. One idea: Is there a way to do a follow-up written vote for confirmation, like by emailing all the participants after?

Oscar Canales He,Him,His Anti Recidivism Coaliton Youth Advocate

02:03:24

if everybody had instagram itll be easier

Sam Lewis

02:03:24

My only hope is that we are united in supporting our people that are in custody and that are coming home. How only way to truly beat this system is by be united and operating with integrity. United we all win.

Clayton Rosa (he/him/his) Swell Creative Group

02:03:30

Van Huynh (he/him)

02:07:21

I’m so proud of all the candidates. I personally know Sam Lewis and Ray. They are exceptional leaders. I’m here to introduce Jose Arellano as I work with him and know that I’d like a representation of a leader that may not have as much exposure. I want him to have this opportunity to represent and serve for the invisible on a larger scale.

Andreya Garcia-Ponce De Leon

02:07:30

can we look at the number of votes, are people overvoting?

Alana Hassanein (she/her)

Shonique Williams

How am I, as a Black woman, going to be represented in this space if this committee does not have a Black male, female, or non-binary on staff, however Blacks are consistently faced with injustice at a higher rate than others?

Wilson & Associates

Other ways community members can participate in the process include: community town halls, a digital survey and participation the Advisory Committee meetings

Dominique Davis

Bamby Salcedo

Rec: The County should find a way to directly fund small CBO's and eliminate the red taping of access to funding. Foundations should not monopolize the funding that needs to be directed directed for peoples

you are right bamby

please understand that I do believe Ray is qualified and will do a fine job in the subcommittee

Bamby Salcedo

Pamela Thompson

02:33:28

Good point. Shonique

April Grayson

02:33:32

She specifically called out mass incarceration in relation to Amendment 13 and representation.

Anthony Robles

02:33:44

yes SGV! 🙌 resource desert

Shonique Williams

02:33:48

However, there is absolutely a lack of representation for the Black Community at this time and I am not comfortable with this.

Briley Journey Presely

02:33:53

We all need to be represented!!

Chrysta Wilson [she/her] on unceded Kizh-Tongva-Gabrieleño Land (Los Angeles)

02:34:04

Hi all- As the Subcommittee, each of you will bring your identities and experiences into the conversations and the hard work of developing these Funding Recommendations for the Measure J Funding for Reentry. My wish is that each of you bring in the diversity of who you are in the work of this Committee. Additionally, all of the Funding Recommendations this community develops will have equity consideratons to make sure we are addressing the impacts of systemic racism.

Dominique Davis

02:34:06

grid is cool but our black communities are suffering from lack of representation no disrespect but I've been to a few of these commitee meeting and I don't see representation for us

April Grayson

02:34:07

Mass incarceration is a derivative of Slavery and amendment 13

Susan Bradshaw

02:34:22

Agree with Shonique

Shonique Williams

02:34:43

sympathy and empathy are one in the same, but not the same.

Briley Journey Presely

02:34:46

Diversity is the key

Shadeequa Smith

02:35:24

There is very little diversity of voices as all of these committees are chaired by all of the same people

Oscar Bonilla

02:35:27

I think Compton, Watts, and Long Beach needs some light shedded on. Those areas are in very need of help not just SGV.

Roberta Shintani-(she/her)-Coalition for engaged Education

02:36:18

I know Ray will hear all voices, he's very inclusive, he will stand up for you. I've seen him in action. As co-chair he is responsible for reporting back to the larger group, but this is where we can say what needs to be said. And based on what Roberto just said I also believe all voices will be represented.

Jessenia Garcia (ella/she)-NHRC

02:36:19

Absolutely!

Pamela Thompson

02:36:34

very well said Shonique

Tasha Stiger

02:36:34

She's speaking about LEADERSHIP ROLES NOT A VOICE

Jamie Beck (she/her)

02:36:39

I agree with Shonique’s points and those amplifying her message. Is it possible to appoint a third co-chair to increase the diversity of the leadership of this subcommittee?

Brandon Daniel Rodriguez

02:36:44

DONT FOR GET "WILMINGTON"

Mark Taylor

02:36:53

I agree.

Oscar Bonilla

02:37:00

Shone Robinson

02:40:27

April this is some bull

Shonique Williams

02:40:35

It should have been intentional to add a Black person to the staff. Failure to do so is a disservice to the community.

Pamela Thompson

02:40:41

Yes I agree Journey!! a third chair is needed with the space of a Black woman, black male, and or non- binary individual.

Dominique Davis

02:40:42

02:45:33

Agreed Roberto, thank you for hearing what the people want and need

Lynne Moses

02:45:34

The idea to add a Chair has been floated and the importance of African American representation in leadership has been eloquently urged. What would be the path to making that happen?

Pamela Thompson

02:45:58

Roberto thank you for voicing that truth

Susan Bradshaw

02:46:01

Blacks need to be able to influence the recommendations, not just have a few on these subcommittees.

Shonique Williams

02:46:16

That is my point Susan

Cecilia Rocha

02:46:23

Can a motion be put forward to request a vote to add a third-cochair?

Briley Journey Presely

02:46:25

Sam Lewis is one of the most prominent voice for the black community and Reentry. Creating a third co-chair that is representative of the black community at this point is the only compromise that can speak to our need for equity.

Jessenia Garcia (ella/she)-NHRC

02:47:23

That's a great idea Cecilia!

Michele C (she/her)

What is the process for requesting a 3rd co-chair nomination?

Cynthia Bryan

02:51:44

I plead with this Board. Be fair! Please be a part of the change that Black people have fought for. This current situation is already not balanced!

April Grayson

02:51:54

the root is slavery and amendment 13
