Some residents of Leisure World have taken to the streets to voice their displeasure with some of the recent undertakings within the Seal Beach residential district for people aged 55 and over. Two dozen or so people stood along Seal Beach Boulevard on Friday, holding signs and engaging passing motorists.
The group of protesters have many complaints, they say, but at the top of their list currently is their desire to see Executive Director Jessica Sedgwick be removed from the position she has held since May of 2022.
One of the organizers of the protest, LW resident Greg Moore, said that when Sedgwick took over the top position in the management office, a lot of trust was put in her hands to oversee the budget and spending for the community.
“Frankly, I mean, we’re all pretty disappointed with what she’s done with that trust,” Moore said.
Moore started a private Facebook page called, “Leisure World Seal Beach Uncensored,” in August of 2019. The group now has more than 1,000 followers.
There has been no response to emails sent to the Leisure World Board of Directors, and a voicemail left at the office line has also gone unreturned.
