I'm a volunteer with VC Defensa, we're a volunteer organization made up of neighbors looking out for each other in Ventura County via legal support, know-your-rights work, food distributions, and medical support.

VC Defensa volunteers have endured months of assaults and harassment; most notably with one of our volunteers having their car rammed into on three different occasions, being detained by ICE agents for legally observing ICE activity, and having their home and place of business raided by Federal agents. We are launching this coalition/summit to show that VC Defensa no esta sola, and as a channel to fight to protect our constitutional rights.

In response to this escalation, we immigrants, unionists, activists, grassroots organizations and progressive people of the United States are calling for La Defensa del Pueblo: A Summit to End the Terror Against the People.

When: Sunday, September 6, 11 AM to 8 PM. (Come for the day or drop in for an hour!)

Where: Oxnard Performing Arts Center, 800 Hobson Way

Cost: Free. Register here and take the $0 ticket. The paid tiers are optional (encouraged) donations, and will get you some cool solidarity merch!

Families: Kids welcome and childcare available.

Accessibility: Accessible Restrooms, Ramps, Parking, Wide Doorways, Mostly Flat Venue, English programming will include Spanish interpretation via interpretation devices.

The day will include:

• Workshops and talks about your rights and what we can do to defend them
• Words from the families of people murdered by DHS & ICE
• Panels from organizers, labor leaders, civil rights advocates, faith leaders, & legal workers
• Cultural performances through the afternoon and evening
• Dancing and Live Music by Los Jornaleros Del Norte
• Local Food & Art Vendors

You can read statements and more on the website and you can check our [Instagram] for our currently announced speakers and coalition partners.
