SAVE THE DATE: Ventura Women’s March 2025
With women’s rights and reproductive freedoms under graver threat than ever, we as neighbors, friends and allies must unite and show we won’t back down — especially against politicians who sneer at the idea that women are people.
On January 18, we’ll march in solidarity with Women’s Marches across the country to push back against politicians who want us to stay silent and give up our freedoms. RSVP for future details, or email info@justiceforallvc.org if you’d like to volunteer.
Note: Are you with a social justice organization that wants to table? Reserve your space now! Residents from across Ventura County will be there to learn how your organization is making a difference.
Meanwhile, back in January 2024…
The community made Ventura County’s 2024 Women’s Rally & March a success! Two hundred marchers braved sprinkles, drizzle and — for a short time — even rain, because all of us felt a duty to stand against the forces that seek to roll back women’s rights by more than a half-century. Checkout what the community achieved at the 2024 Women’s March…
Ventura County’s 8th Annual Women’s Rally & March
Ventura County’s 2024 march was its most ambitious yet, featuring education workshops for community activists to train and advocate for reproductive, environmental and democratic rights in 2024, as well as action sessions for signing postcards, donating books and registering new voters.
Why did the 2024 Women’s March matter this year?
Since 2024 is an election year, we know that the community fears how the outcome in November may mean the difference between democracy and future autocracy. A large turnout ensured our voices were heard, especially in the face of recent stories like these…
Scholastic Bows to Book Ban Pressure, Allows Schools to Exclude Diverse Titles from Fairs: Caving to the far right, Scholastic now allows schools to ban ANY book on Black Americans from its book fairs.
The Coming Supreme Court Power Grab: The Supreme Court’s unelected far-right majority is prepping to hear three cases that will enable it to seize even more rights from women.
New Doctors Are Avoiding States With Abortion Bans, Threatening More Maternal Care Deserts: Most OBGYNs are women. Those living in anti-choice states are EIGHT TIMES likelier to move out, to protect their own reproductive safety.
What was new at the 2024 Women’s March?
Standing in solidarity with democratic, environmental and women’s rights is how we stand strong together. Here are the activities we hosted at our rally, empowering the community to make a difference in 2024…
Banned Books: Extremists are cranking up their efforts to ban books about BIPOC and LGBTQ people from libraries. We’re doing the opposite: collecting donations of such books for local libraries!*
Postcard Writing: Local special elections are happening across the country in February. Activate America is hosting a free postcard-writing session so you can help with turning out low-propensity voters who’ll make a difference in these special elections.
Voter Registration: The League of Women Voters is helping to register local voters like yourself in time for November… because with so much at stake, 2024 may be the most pivotal election of our lives!
