Covering the Central Coast
As stewards to our region’s organizations and activists, we’re committed to mobilizing Ventura County in support of justice for all in the community. And the work we achieve is possible only through the collaboration of organizations within our network.
As a resource to community activists in Ventura County, we maintain a list of upcoming events from our partner organizations. (Red indicates an event JFAVC is directly cosponsoring.) If you’re part of our network and would like us to list your event, email us and let us know the details!
