NOTE TO THE GOP WHO ARE CRUISING THIS SITE:

If an event is sponsored by Indivisible Ventura, we will clearly mark it for you. No, we are not in charge of everything – lots of people in Ventura County don’t like what you’re doing. However, inaccurate reporting is your jam, apparently, and we respect that.

If it matters to you, because you either hate wealthy people (unlikely) or are dog-whistling antisemitism, George Soros has made grants through the Open Society Foundations to the national Indivisible Project, just as dark-money groups and donors whose fortune included helping Hitler, have donated to your astroturf campaigns. However, our local efforts, similar to that of other Indivisible groups from coast to coast, are supported by local donors, and everyone involved volunteers their time and talents.

“This is what democracy looks like.”

THURSDAY – 01/22/26 – VIRTUAL – The Roadmap with ACE – All About Regional Center Services (6:00 – 7:30 am)

Respite Services

This workshop will help you understand what respite care is and how to apply for it through your local Regional Center. Respite care gives family caregivers a break by providing temporary care for a child or adult with developmental disabilities. It’s especially helpful when the person’s medical, physical, or behavioral needs are more than what a typical caregiver or family member can handle. What you’ll learn in this training:

What respite services are and who qualifies;
How to request respite through your Regional Center;
What types of support are available for families;
Answers to common questions about in-home care; and
How respite fits into your overall Individual Program Plan (IPP).

THURSDAY – 01/22/26 – VIRTUAL TEXT BANKING – BYOB Free Texting – Register Democrats in all Swing States (3:00 pm – 4:00 pm)

Welcome to the biggest fight of our lives. Time to join Field Team 6’s free BYOP text team – and text millions of unregistered likely Democrats in key swing states to win 10 key elections in 2025, and more in ’26!

We love free texting! We call it BYOP or Bring Your Own Phone, although it actually uses your own computer, usually with an anonymized Google Voice number. It’s a great way to register new Democrats!

There are a few things you’ll need to set up on your computer but they aren’t difficult, and we provide all the training you need at our BYOP Boot Camp sessions. If you’re tech savvy and want to do the set up on your own, this User Guide provides all the information: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RQeU1Z9YVpnqI0dLFD7CV2HBEgP–R2-OfGITkfd34g/edit?usp=sharing

Once trained, you’ll be able to send texts any time between 9 am – 9 pm in the Time Zone you’re texting. We have multiple campaigns available (listed in the document linked above) and you get to choose which one appeals to you.

Help voters of color get the ID they need to vote!

Requiring voter ID is a discriminatory barrier to voting. According to the ACLU, “Over 21 million U.S. citizens do not have qualifying government-issued photo identification, and these individuals are disproportionately voters of color.” Even when IDs are free, the documents needed to get an ID are not. Spread the Vote assists people in obtaining IDs.

(From Jessica Craven) “OK. We know that across the country, democracy and voting rights are under attack.

First sign a petition: We also know that a whole bunch of businesses said they would speak up to protect our fundamental right as Americans, but there’s one problem: they’re still members of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, a group with a long history of fueling anti-democratic actions.

Postcards for DC Statehood!

Washington D.C. is a living, breathing, racial and civil rights injustice and we need to fix it!

Update: A Heritage Foundation lawyer, Zack Smith, actually stated out loud that DC residents “already impact the national debate” because members of Congress see their yard signs while driving to work. (Note – yard signs imply property ownership, so thanks, Heritage Foundation for that slap-back to the beginnings of our country, when only property owners got to vote.)

Go here for get postcards! A member has printed up a large amount. This is an easy task, both sides are already printed, ready for addressing and stamps! Instructions included.

If you’re unfamiliar with the hundreds of years that DC residents have been denied statehood, along with the rights we take for granted, like representation along with taxation, the ability to make laws without federal interference, and being able to call up the National Guard when they need it, here’s our post with lots of information and great videos. (Also 51 for 51 and DCstatehoodcoalition.org ) Both the House and Senate have reintroduced bills to fix this, H.R.51 & S.51– “Washington, D.C. Admission Act. Another important bill – H.R.1 – “For the People Act, declares, amongst many important voting reforms, “…that DC residents deserve full Congressional voting rights and self-government, which only statehood can provide.” (full text) (endorsements). We need to get all Democratic representatives and senators onboard both bills as cosponsors quickly as possible!

ACLU – How do we End Racism in Policing?

The ACLU has changed it’s mind! Instead of focusing on making police departments better, they are now firmly on the side of divesting functions, power and responsibilities from police departments and tranferring them to life-giving non-police-dependent alternatives. This video covers qualified immunity, police union influence, and use of force standards, as well as the big questions on how we can stop police from being such an outsized presence in Black communities. One example of redirection – the changeover from police transport of medical emergencies to ambulances, which took place in the 1960’s. Share all these resources with your friends and family, along with the ACLU’s series of short videos called “100 Years of Racism in Policing.”

Fight fossil fuel political dominance by reducing the need for it!

Ventura County is developing a 100-megawatt, 400-megawatt hour battery storage facility to replace the need for new natural gas-powered generation. So far, Ojai is the first and only city in our county who’s made a jump to gas source reduction with an all-electrica building code, though there are still discussions as to the extent of their ordinance.

“Cities and counties in California serve as guiding lights as the state navigates a transition from gas to clean-energy buildings. Motivated by the climate crisis, worsening air pollution, escalating gas rates, and safety risks from gas, a new cohort of local government leaders is emerging in California. Over 50 cities and counties across the state are considering policies to support all-electric new construction.

This blog summarizes the cities and counties that have already adopted gas-free buildings commitments or electrification building codes (i.e., “reach codes” that go beyond the statewide building code) and is regularly updated to reflect the latest wins in California. Ordinance language is also linked below.

To urge your city council members to be climate leaders and to create a gas-free future for our homes and buildings, please sign this peti t ion.“

Protect the US Postal Service, our election and basic democracy.

ALL THE ACTIONS ARE HERE! Updated 9/2/2020
Why is this sabotage happening?
Where are we at right now with DeJoy and his co-conspirators – USPS Board of Governor Chair Robert Duncan, Treasury Sec. Steve Mnuchin, and Sen. Mitch McConnell?
Sign the NAACP petition here. The NAACP has filed a federal lawsuit against the Postmaster General of the United States Postal Service for deliberately attempting to sabotage the U.S. Postal Service to obstruct voting by mail and to ensure a favorable outcome in the election.

Put pressure on the USPS Board of Governors and other actions described here.

Top 13 things you should know about our postal service! It is the leading employer of minorities (39%) and women (40%), and for three years in a row they were in Hispanic Business magazine’s annual “Diversity Elite 60” list of best companies for Hispanics, the only federal agency on the list. The USPS is also one of the largest employers of veterans, with more than 97,000.

📫 Tie a DARK BLUE RIBBON around your mailbox (or on your mail slot) to show solidarity and support to our postal carriers.
📫 Put a sign up in your yard or window that says #USPSForever.
📫 Call your representative and both senators and tell them not to pass any relief package that doesn’t contain funding for the USPS.
📫 And tell everyone who wants the Postal Service to survive to do the same.
