[dropcap size=big]O[/dropcap]ne of the main organizers behind the statewide rent control initiative, Proposition 10, had its San Diego area office broken into and burnt down over the weekend, organizers of the nonprofit told L.A. Taco.
The San Diego branch of the Alliance for California Community Empowerment (ACCE), located in neighboring Chula Vista, was broken into at exactly 12:30 am on Saturday, the office’s alarm system indicated. But it was not clear is who did it and why someone would want to burn down the office there. A police investigation is underway, Joseph Delgado, ACCE’s Los Angeles office director, told L.A. Taco.
Delgado said that he drove down to Chula Vista from L.A. as soon as he found out to support the local ACCE members. “This is such a bizarre thing to happen to any organization, particularly an organization that stands for organizing communities that are lower income,” Delgado said by phone from San Diego Sunday evening.
