Costa Mesa Mutual Aid was built by community members coming together to support local families with food, care, and rent.

As ICE activity continues impacting Costa Mesa families, the need for support has not disappeared.

We’re asking for the $50,000 originally intended for the Food Box delivery program to be returned to the community effort it was meant to support ‼️

Please sign and share the petition ✨

@cityofcostamesa Mayor John Stephens said he has never seen an issue where virtually 100% of public commenters shared the same position!

That position was clear: cancel Flock.

He acknowledged that residents’ trust in the police department has been harmed, questioned why the original contract was not publicly discussed, and noted that it came in just below the threshold requiring public review.

Then he voted to keep Flock…..

Listening to the community means more than recognizing their unanimous opposition. It means acting on it.

Costa Mesa residents made it clear: we do not want Flock surveillance in our city.

Over 100 community members, advocates, and local leaders showed up and spoke with one voice: cancel the Flock contract. But the City Council voted 6–1 to keep Flock, choosing small contract changes over what the public actually demanded.

Councilwoman Arlis Reynolds was the only vote to cancel the contract. She also raised important questions about how the original agreement was approved without real community discussion. Because the first contract came in under $100,000, it avoided the public disclosure and comment process that larger contracts require.

That may be the process—but it is not transparency. And it is not how decisions that impact our privacy, safety, and neighborhoods should be made.

We’re grateful for Councilwoman Reynolds for standing with the community, and proud of every person who showed up, spoke out, and refused to be ignored.

Our safety does not come from more surveillance. It comes from investing in our communities, our youth, housing, care, and the things people actually need.

The people have spoken. Costa Mesa needs to listen.

‼️🔔7/22 UPDATE: NOW FUNDRAISING $2100 FOR AUG RENT!! Unfortunately, there are no systems in place for ongoing rent support.

Please donate, share, and interact to help Miss Joanne meet her needs while her husband is still detained.

In September 2025, Ms. Joanne’s husband was taken by ICE while he was at work. He has been detained at Adelanto ever since, where he has endured inhumane conditions, including being denied blankets and other basic necessities.

If you’re able to help, please Venmo @LuchaCM and write “Rent” in the memo. Every dollar will go directly toward helping Ms. Joanne cover her rent.

Thank you for standing with our community. 🤍 by @luchacostamesa

On July 21st, Costa Mesa City Council will vote on expanding Flock cameras. Our community deserves to feel safe without more surveillance. For many immigrant families, systems that track our movements raise serious privacy concerns, especially with ICE enforcement already affecting our neighbors‼️

Sign the petition in our bio and on our story urging City Council to vote NO on expanding Flock cameras🚫

Whether you live, work, go to school, or spend time in Costa Mesa, this decision affects all of us.

Take a minute to sign the petition and help spread the word.
