The meeting was meant to create a safe space for members of the Black and Latinx communities to share their experiences.
She says they shared racist pictures and audio while posting lewd comments under the names of various users.
The NAACP said Sunday's attack is proof that it's time for change.
"This is 2020, folks. And you wonder why we always talk about Black Lives Matter because we can’t even have a town hall in peace. We can't allow the people in the community to express what is harping in their hearts. And we are beset by racism at every corner," said Brian Crawford, with the Northern Orange NAACP.
In a statement Sunday, the NAACP promised to reschedule the forum.
Leaders have also reported the attack to the Orange County Sheriffs Office.
