Open till 16 April: Our Youth Essay Contest
Attention, Ventura County youth! What have you done in the name of justice or democracy to encourage others to take action? If you can inspire our community with an essay (500 words) or video (2 to 4 minutes) tackling this topic, you could win a scholarship for 1st place ($1,400), 2nd ($900), 3rd ($500), or honorable mention ($200).
How do I enter? Ventura County public high school seniors can submit their essay or video link to info@justiceforallvc.org by April 16, 2026, along with a short bio. We’ll recognize the winner at an event in their school and spotlight them across our online media!

We’ll keep you updated on details around events like our annual Women’s March every January, quarterly book clubs, and future events we do around Ventura County. And if you’d like to volunteer or sponsor our future marches and events, email us at info@justiceforallvc.org. We look forward to hearing from you.
Meanwhile on 17 January: You proved “Courage Is Contagious”
Date: Saturday, January 17, 2026
Location: Plaza Park
Address: E Thompson Blvd, Ventura, CA 93001
Justice for All Ventura County and our partners, Planned Parenthood Action Fund and Indivisible Ventura, organized Ventura County’s Women’s March on Saturday, January 17th, in Ventura’s Plaza Park. This was JFAVC’s 10th anniversary demonstrating, advocating, educating and marching for social justice in Ventura County.
You made this 10th Annual Women’s March possible!
As we’ve watched hard-fought human rights stripped from one community after another over the past year in Ventura County, thousands of you persisted and stood together on January 17th, 2026 — showing America’s autocrats that “Courage Is Contagious”.
Working Together for Change
In addition to inspiring speakers like Supervisor Vianey Lopez, Councilperson Rynn Schumacher, Captain Shawn Terris (Marine Corps) and Director Primativa Hernandez (805 Undocufund), almost 30 social justice organizations assisted in tabling and planning. If you’d like to work with these groups, here’s how to reach them!
