SANTA ANA FAMILIES FOR FAIR ELECTIONS (SAFFE) STATEMENT ON NOVEMBER 5, 2024 ELECTION RESULTS
Santa Ana, CA – The Santa Ana Families for Fair Elections (SAFFE) coalition of residents and organizations supporting Santa Ana Measure DD released the following statement regarding the November 5, 2024 general election results:
“There are still thousands of ballots to be counted, but we are heartened by the 38% of Santa Ana voters so far who cast their ballots to enfranchise their neighbors, friends and loved ones.
While outside corporate and anti-immigrant groups spent $1 million to suppress the voices of Santa Ana’s working families, our multi-racial, multigenerational group of residents engaged tens of thousands of our neighbors to bring our city closer to the ideal of ‘no taxation without representation.’
As politicians demonized immigrants on the national stage, Santa Ana residents went on the offensive for full political inclusion of immigrants. Immigrants will continue to represent a larger share of the city, state and country’s population, and the movement for voting rights for all will continue to strengthen. This is only Santa Ana’s first campaign, and our movement has grown larger and stronger than ever.”
Throughout this election cycle, the Measure DD campaign has been covered by Politico, the Los Angeles Times, NBC LA, Telemundo, Univison, ABC 7 and over 10 other local and national media outlets. Nearly all of the committee’s $12,000 was raised through small-dollar donations.
