Anaheim, CA 92805
RE: Opposition to Item 6 – Authorization to Purchase 40mm “ Less Lethal” Weapons Dear Mayor Aitken and Members of the Anaheim City Council, On behalf of Chispa, we write in strong opposition to Item 6, which would authorize the Anaheim Police Department to spend $821,323.23 to purchase 40mm projectile launchers and related parts under Master Agreement # 106- 498427.
Equipping every patrol vehicle with these launchers represents an unnecessary and harmful expansion of militarization in our community. The framing of these weapons as “ less lethal” does not change the fact that their presence escalates the potential for force, erodes public trust, and signals an aggressive culture toward residents rather than a commitment to de-escalation and safety. Officers are already armed with firearms and other tools; the addition of projectile launchers in every vehicle only increases the likelihood of their use and heightens the risks to community members.
Our communities are already living with heightened fear due to ongoing ICE raids and the knowledge that ICE holds the largest militarized police budget in U.S. history. Adding more tactical weaponry to our local police department only builds that fear and raises the possibility of these weapons being deployed against vulnerable residents, particularly immigrant families who already face disproportionate levels of surveillance and harm.
Anaheim residents have consistently called for investments in housing, youth programs, and mental health—not more militarization. At a time when community needs are urgent and resources scarce, it is unacceptable to divert nearly a million dollars toward militarized equipment. True public safety comes from addressing root causes of harm, not from arming officers with projectile launchers.
For these reasons, Chispa urges you to vote NO on Item 6 and reject this purchase. Our city should prioritize investments that keep families safe, supported, and thriving—not expand police militarization.
Sincerely,
Bulmaro Vicente
Policy and Political Director

Dear neighbor,
Sunshine is the best disinfectant. In this country, everyone is treated equally under the law –no matter who they are or who they’re friends with. As you may know Jeffery Epstein, convicted sex offender, died in prison while awaiting trial for sex trafficking charges. I have consistently called for the release of the Epstein files. I want all people involved in sex trafficking to be brought to justice, irrespective of your wealth or political influence.
Once again, Congress is proposing a resolution that would require these files to be released to the public. As Congress considers taking action, I want your opinion.
I WANT YOUR OPINION:
Should Congress force the Administration to release the Epstein files?
Yes
No
Taking this survey will sign you up for future news and updates from our office.
As I work with my colleagues in Congress on this issue, I will keep your thoughts in mind. My job is to bring your voice to Washington, and I want to continue hearing from you as Congress considers taking action.

Dear Neighbor,
After a busy August recess, I was back in Washington, pushing to hold everyone accountable under the law, standing up for our Orange County veterans, and pushing for affordable health care options.
As I bring your stories to the halls of Congress, I wanted to take a moment to show you what I’ve been working on.
HOLDING CRIMINALS ACCO UNT ABLE TO THE LAW
This week, I signed a petition to release the Epstein files. Congress proposed a resolution that would require the Department of Justice to unseal the documents involved in Jeffrey Epstein’ s case. In this country, everyone is treated equally under the law no matter who they are or who they’ re friends with.
As you may know Jeffery Epstein, convicted sex offender, died in prison while aw aiting trial for sex trafficking charges. I’ll keep fighting until all those named in the files are brought to justice.
Congressman Correa signed the discharge petition to release the Epstein files
STANDING UP FOR OC VETERANS
I also joined my colleague, Congresswoman Young Kim in urging the Depart ment of Veterans Affairs VA) to build a VA cemetery in Orange County. Home to more than 100,000 veterans, Orange County has the largest population of veterans without a dedicated cemetery. We met with VA Undersecretary Brown to ensure that this cemetery project remains a top priority for the VA. Our veterans deserve to have their final resting place be close to home. We’ll keep working to get the job done.

FIG HT ING BACK AGAINST CHILDHO OD CANCE R
I also stopped by Hyundai’ s Hope on Wheels event to chat about the importance of pediatric health care research. Children' s Hospital Orange County ( CHOC) provides life saving care to thousands of kids each year. The Republican One Big Ugly Bill included historic healthcare cut s that have made it difficult for families across the nation to receive affordable health care. I’m working to ensure that these cuts do not prevent a child from their chance to get better. Donat ions from Hope on Wheels help me in this fight and will support CHOC’ s childhood cancer research. Everybody should be able to get the care they need without breaking the bank. We'll keep pushing for affordable and accessible health care.

SUPPORT ING THE NEXT GENERAT ION OF LE ADE RS
I returned home just in time to visit Century High School in Santa Ana. From women’ s health, to climate change, immigration, there are many issues that directly impact young people’ s futures. I encouraged these future leaders to get involved in their communities and become the civically engaged changemakers our future generation needs. I talked about the many paths to engagement from Service Academy to the Congressional Arts Competition. Thank you, Cent ury High School for showing me that the future is bright.
Congressman Correa visited Century High School
As always, I am committed to serving you, advocating for issues that mat ter to our community, and connecting you to important resources. If you are experiencing any issues with a federal agency, my office is here to help. Give us a call at (714) 559- 6190.

Dear Mayor Aitken,
I hope this finds you well.
There are many priorities you must be facing, so we wanted to share some good news. We recently opened a new Tesla Supercharger site, direct current fast charging for electric vehicles, in Anaheim, CA - 1734 West Lincoln Avenue (20 stalls) . This site can accommodate non-Tesla EVs with a NACS DC adapter, as well as Tesla vehicles. More information here. We appreciate the partnership with city staff in getting this project over the finish line! You can learn more about the basics of Tesla Supercharging, including site navigation, stall availability, and expected charge speeds here.
We are excited to have this new site available to our drivers and look forward to being a part of the Anaheim, CA - 1734 West Lincoln Avenue (20 stalls) community.
Please let us know if you have any questions or would be interested in learning more about the site.
Best,
Mitali Srinath
Site Name: Anaheim, CA - 1734 West Lincoln Avenue (20 stalls) Stall Count: 20 stalls (250 kW)
