The City of Pomona and Pomona PD are promoting their expanded network of Flock surveillance cameras and automated tracking along Holt Avenue. But we have to ask: Who is this technology really serving?

Mirroring nationwide anxieties about police tech, our community has consistently voiced deep concerns regarding data privacy, federal data sharing, and civil rights.

We remain deeply concerned about potential data sharing with federal agencies like ICE. Despite police transparency portals claiming no current federal data sharing, nationwide evidence shows how easily local surveillance networks can feed into federal enforcement, putting undocumented families at risk.

While the city attempts public relations work by reviewing contracts and passing questions back and forth, they are missing the larger issue. Putting a Band-Aid on data protection doesn’t solve the problem. We must question why mass surveillance technology is being brought into our streets in the first place.

“It takes audacity to ask taxpayer money for a raise for yourself while denying residents rental protection.” 🚨

Political representation in Pomona should serve working-class families, not donors and self-interests. Residents deserve leaders who put tenant protections first. Option #2 had the potential to protect landlords and tenants alike.

Pay attention to who stands with families who are struggling to make ends meet and who stands with outside corporate groups like the California Apartment Association that continue to meddle in our city to weaken protections and block accountability tools.

Corporate landlord lobbyists are celebrating the defeat of tenant protections in Pomona—and they’re already planning their next move.

While the City Council voted to extend our city’s rent control ordinance past 2026, outside corporate groups like the California Apartment Association continue to meddle in our city to weaken protections and block accountability tools like a rental registry.

Pomona renters deserve stability, transparency, and real protections—not outside interests dictating the future of our homes.

The lame duck council member from Phillips Ranch requested data that would’ve been available to him had he approved a rental registry — which he voted against…

Make it make sense.

Steve Lustro is out of office in December and his legacy will be blocking increased tenant protections for working-class families.

Although current protections remain in place — Martin, Ontiveros-Cole, Lustro, and Canales remain out of touch and ignore the need for greater rental protections for tenants in our city.

With a 4-3 vote they once again killed any opportunity for landlord accountability as they continue to side with corporate special interests over Pomona’s working-class.

🚨 URGENT: OUR RENT PROTECTIONS ARE UNDER DIRECT THREAT IN POMONA! 🚨

Opposing groups are actively mobilizing to kill Pomona’s Rent Stabilization Ordinance! They are organizing to flood City Council with messages demanding that Ordinance 4359 be allowed to EXPIRE, leaving local families unprotected against severe rent hikes and displacement.

We cannot let them strip away our community’s housing stability. We need EVERY Pomona resident, tenant, and ally to act NOW to protect our renters!

HOW YOU CAN TAKE ACTION:

1️⃣ CALL & EMAIL CITY COUNCIL BEFORE MONDAY
Use our quick script below to demand City Council vote YES on Option #2 to continue Ordinance 4359 beyond 12/31/26 and establish a vital landlord registry.

2️⃣ SHOW UP IN PERSON THIS MONDAY
📍 Where: Pomona Council Chambers (505 S Garey Ave)
📅 When: Monday, October 19th at 5:30 PM
💬 Action:Give public comment and pack the room to show City Council that Pomona stands with tenants!
