Thank you @thesantanero for amplifying our efforts to protect our community, and the students of @materdeimonarchs, by condemning their involvement with Santa Ana Police Department.
Though we acknowledge this “clarification” from the school, we never mentioned ICE involvement. We are clear in our resolve to ensure Mater Dei does NOT engage in any kind of collaboration of police or military surveillance/weaponry training on campus. We say NO‼️ to this for the reasons outlined in our letter.
A formal response to this “clarification” on behalf of Mater Dei alumni is forthcoming.
Our letter has over 500 signatures so far which seems like a lot, but we would like it that number to multiply by 10. ✊🏽
Please continue to send to all alumni of Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana.

As an alumni of @materdeimonarchs, I am embarrassed, disappointed, and enraged that the high school would agree to partner with the police department in my city to be a training ground for militarized operations. This action does not reflect the values Mater Dei purports to uphold.
This is NOT what Jesus would do and we, as alumni, cannot remain silent as we witness Black and Brown students made vulnerable by increased police presence on campus.
We urge all alumni to sign this letter by Sunday evening and share with your former classmates. 🔗 is in my bi0 but can be accessed here as well:
