4
We would also like to thank leaders from the following community-based
organizations for taking the time to speak with the PERE research team about
this project: Jonathan Paik from the Korean Resource Center; Miguel Hernandez
from Orange County Congregation Community Organization; Richard Calvin
Chang from Pacific Islander Health Partnership; and Shakeel Syed, Karen
Romero Estrada, and Clara Turner from Orange County Communities Organized
for Responsible Development.
We would also like to acknowledge, with gratitude and appreciation, that the
land that is now known as Orange County is the traditional land of the
Acjachemen and Tongva people past and present.
This profile, including data, charts, and maps, was prepared by Edward-Michael
Muña, Sabrina Kim, Joanna Lee, and Jennifer Ito at PERE. Many thanks to the
PERE team for their support in producing this report: Arpita Sharma and Justin
Scoggins who assisted with checking the myriad of data points presented; Stina
Rosenquist for copyediting; Lauren Perez for assistance with gathering photos;
and Gladys Malibiran for coordinating printing. Special thanks to Sarah Treuhaft
of PolicyLink for her thoughtful feedback.
