Steve Pleich Sides with Racists In Online Forum
by Paul Mendoza
Steve Pleich, the former Santa Cruz City Council candidate and current member of Santa Cruz County Community Coalition to Overcome Racism (SCCCCOR) and the Santa Cruz ACLU removed me from the online discussion group Citizens for a Better Santa Cruz when I brought up the sensitive issue of a possibly racist post by the Santa Cruz Police Department. I was attacked viciously by a group who claimed I was someone I am not, and I was kicked out of the group and the post was removed. People who made racist comments were not removed from the group. I think Pleich should resign from SCCCCOR. He chose a pack of lies over a thoughtful discussion of racism. The sad thing is this pack who attacked me will be happy to see Pleich criticized by progressives.
