I would like to submit a public comment regarding Riverside <br />city redistricting and want to share our organization's support for Map A4 A. Planned <br />Parenthood Action Fund supports Map A4 A due to our interests in keeping the UCR <br />Community together. As Planned Parenthood's community organizer in the area, I have <br />come to work closely with University of California Riverside students through an on -campus <br />club. I have helped students organize, and advocate for issues that are important to them. <br />These students form a unique community of diverse individuals that share roads, <br />entertainment, shopping, and eateries, as many of these students live on campus or in the <br />surrounding area. I ask that this community of interest in the city of Riverside is kept intact in <br />order to ensure the campus, the students and surrounding community are given the attention, <br />resources, and representation they deserve. <br />MapA4 A is also the only map that has all of the North Side Specific Plan in one ward and has <br />a ward with an African American Communities of Interest, while keeping 17 neighborhood <br />communities together and protecting the integrity of the city. Map A4 A maximizes the Voting <br />Rights Act and better aligns with Riverside residents community of interest testimony. Map A4 <br />A has four Latino Citizen Voting Age Population majority wards. Map A4 A includes <br />Casablanca in a High Latino CVAP Ward which includes the Ramona neighborhood which <br />was advocated by its residents. For these reasons, we hope you can support map A4 A. <br />Thank you for your time. <br />Best, <br />Leticia Cachu <br />Community Organizer <br />Planned Parenthood Action Fund of the Pacific Southwest <br />The information contained in this transmission may contain privileged and confidential information, including patient information <br />protected by federal and state privacy laws.
