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.”

THURSDAYS – 03/05/26 – VIRTUAL – Virtural Town Hall: Uncovering Trump’s Crypto Corruption

Join us for a virtual town hall to learn about the pipeline of crypto corruption, President Trump’s crypto conflicts of interest, how crypto industry backed legislation could expose us all to crypto’s dangerous risks, and how we can fight back.

Trump’s crypto corruption has been unprecedented. From the Oval Office, the President and his family have promoted scammy memecoins used to fleece investors and auction off White House access. They have made billion dollar deals with crypto CEOs convicted of financial crimes, and now regulators he appointed are poised to give his family firm – World Liberty Financial – a federal bank charter. Big crypto has donated millions to Trump-affiliated SuperPACs, the President’s Inaugural Fund, the Trump military parade, and the White House ballroom fund. This crypto largesse appears to have led to lawsuits being dropped, pardons granted, enormous favors for foreign investors despite national security risks, and kid-glove treatment from Trump’s financial regulators.

Attendees will have the chance to hear from experts on crypto and on corruption about the dangers all of this creates for our financial security and our democracy, and what we can do to fight back!

THURSDAYS – 03/05/26 – VIRTUAL – What’s the Plan (12 pm)

The chaos out of the White House is meant to overwhelm us. Our antidote is community. Join Indivisible co-founders Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin every Thursday to break down the week’s biggest political stories, answer your questions, and map out strategies for taking action.

This is people-powered politics in real time. Questions can be submitted via the Q&A function during the live event.

THURSDAY – 03/05/26 – VIRTUAL – Bystander Intervention to support the Disability Community in Public Spaces (3 pm PST)

The 75-minute, interactive training will teach you the 5Ds of bystander intervention methodology. We’ll start by talking about the types of disrespect that people with disabilities or those perceived to be with disabilities are facing right now — from microaggressions to violence — using a tool we call the “spectrum of disrespect.” You will learn what to look for and the positive impact that bystander intervention has on individuals and communities. We’ll talk through five strategies for intervention: distract, delegate, document, delay, and direct; and how to prioritize your own safety while intervening.

We’ll have time at the end for practice, and you’ll leave feeling more confident intervening the next time you see ableism or disability harassment online or in person.

TUESDAY – 03/10/26 – VIRTUAL TRAINING – Stand up Against Street Harassment (11 am)

How can we take action if we don’t know what to do? Right To Be is offering this free, one-hour, interactive training to train people on how to safely intervene when you witness street harassment — or experience it yourself. During this training you’ll learn a clear, adaptable, and expert-approved set of tools that have been proven to reduce the prevalence of street harassment: Right To Be’s 5Ds of bystander intervention.

We’ll start by deepening our understanding of street harassment and its impact. Then, we’ll talk through five strategies for intervention: distract, delegate, document, delay, and direct; and how to prioritize your own safety while intervening. We’ll also talk about what to do if you’re worried the violence will turn on you and how to avoid escalating the situation. Then, we’ll talk about what to do if you experience harassment and give you tools to safely get your power back.

We’ll have time at the end for practice. Exit polls show 98.8% of attendees leave the training feeling like there is at least one thing they can do the next time they witness harassment.

SUNDAY – 03/15/26 – VIRTUAL – Bystander Intervention to Support the Immigrant Community (1 pm – 3:00 pm)

This session is sponsored by Westminster Presbyterian Church Charlottesville, VA.

Hate, harassment, and violence against immigrants is on the rise—but everyday people have the power to create safer, more inclusive communities. Right To Be’s Bystander Intervention to Support Immigrant Communities Training equips participants with the tools to safely and effectively intervene when they witness anti-immigrant hate, harassment, or discrimination.

Using Right To Be’s 5Ds of Bystander Intervention methodology—Distract, Delegate, Document, Delay, and Direct—this interactive training empowers participants to take action while prioritizing safety. Whether it’s witnessing xenophobic comments, workplace discrimination, ICE encounters, or public harassment, this training provides practical, real-world strategies to support immigrants facing harm.

Through real-life scenarios, interactive exercises, and group discussions, participants will:

Recognize the spectrum of anti-immigrant hate and harassment and its impact on communities.
Learn and practice the 5Ds of bystander intervention in different situations.
Understand how to legally and safely respond to ICE encounters without putting themselves or others at risk.
Gain confidence to stand up against discrimination in their workplaces, schools, and public spaces.
Leave with tools, resources, and next steps to continue supporting immigrant rights.

This training is encouraged for allies, but everyone is welcome. If you are undocumented or at risk of being targeted by ICE, we recommend also attending a Know Your Rights training and engaging in safety planning.

Together, we can create a culture of safety, solidarity, and dignity for immigrant communities. Join us to become an active bystander and help build a more just world.

WEDNESDAY – 03/18/26 – VIRTUAL – Resilience: This Moment and Beyond (10 am – 11 am)

This interactive and experiential learning experience will teach you how to author your own resilience, using Right To Be’s resilience methodology: sit with what is, create your story, and be in choice.

We’ll start by talking about what resilience really is, and how it’s different (and harder) than self-care. Using guided practices, we’ll learn how to hold our pain and still find joy. We’ll explore how we’re making sense of this moment — and how that’s shaping our experience of it. And we’ll learn practices to recover quickly when we’re knocked down by the world.

THURSDAY – 03/19/26- VIRTUAL – Bystander Intervention and Conflict De-Escalation in Protest Spaces (10 – 11 am)

To meet this moment, we’re bringing together bystander intervention and conflict de-escalation into one powerful, practical training — free and open to all. This 75-minute interactive session equips everyday people with the skills to show up for immigrant neighbors and others facing harassment, de-escalate tense situations in protest spaces, and protect their own safety during interactions with law enforcement. Hate, harassment, and violence against immigrants are on the rise, but communities are not powerless. With the right tools, we can reduce harm, interrupt escalation, and create safer, more inclusive spaces for everyone.

Grounded in Right To Be’s Observe-Breathe-Connectapproach and the 5Ds of Bystander Intervention (Distract, Delegate, Document, Delay, and Direct), this training focuses on real-world application. Participants learn how to recognize early warning signs of conflict using the “pyramid of escalation,” assess when and how to intervene, and choose strategies that prioritize safety.

Through real-world scenarios, interactive exercises, and group brainstorms, participants will practice de-escalating hate and harassment in workplaces and public settings—including protest spaces—while learning how to navigate critical moments such as encounters with ICE or other law enforcement in legally informed, safer ways. The training builds participants’ confidence to assess situations thoughtfully and act with clarity, care, and solidarity.

TUESDAY – 03/24/2026

TUESDAY – 03/24/26 – VIRTUAL TRAINING – How to Respond 2.0: Practical Tools for Being Powerful in the Face of Harassment (11:00 am -12 noon)

Building on Right To Be’s How to Respond to Harassment training and the methodology of Self Offense, this workshop dives deeply into the art of “reclaiming your space,” Right To Be’s supportive skill for confidently responding to harassment. In today’s world, where personal boundaries often feel increasingly challenged, the power to respond confidently to harassment has never been more vital. We all deserve to feel safe and confident in our spaces, but may hesitate to respond in ways that honor both our instinctive reactions and our desire to reclaim our power in these situations.

Pulling from Self Offense’s somatic and embodied expertise – and 10 degrees of black belt between them – this training equips participants with:

Simple tools to assess situations objectively
Practical strategies to harness your natural responses
Concrete ways to set boundaries and reclaim your space
Real-world techniques for building lasting resilience

Through guided practice and supportive discussion, participants will gain practical experience in turning reactive moments into opportunities for empowered action, develop renewed confidence in their instincts, and learn to respond powerfully to harassment while staying true to themselves.

WEDNESDAY – 03/25/26 – VIRTUAL – Bystander Intervention to Support Trans* Equality (11 am – 12:00 pm)

This one-hour, interactive training will teach you Right To Be’s 5Ds of bystander intervention methodology. We’ll start by talking about identities that fall under the trans* umbrella and the types of disrespect that trans* folks are facing right now — from microaggressions to violence — using a tool we call the “spectrum of disrespect.” You’ll also learn a little bit about the impacts of disrespect and harassment on trans* identifying folks and the positive impact that intervention can have. We’ll talk through five strategies for intervention: distract, delegate, document, delay, and direct; and how to prioritize your own safety while intervening.

Finally, we’ll practice intervening with a series of scenarios and close with a brief visioning exercise, so you leave feeling more confident intervening the next time you see transphobic harassment online or in person.

SATURDAY – 03/28/26 – VENTURA – NO KINGS III event! (10:00 am – 12:00 pm) Ventura County Government Center

We have the power and are claiming it together. No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings.

What began in 2025 as a single day of defiance has become a sustained national resistance to tyranny, spreading from small towns to city centers and across every community determined to defend democracy. Our peaceful movement is bigger than ever.

When our families are under attack and costs are pushing people to the brink, silence is not an option. We will defend ourselves and our communities against this administration’s unjust and cruel acts of violence.

On March 28th, rise up, take to the streets, and say it loud: no thrones, no crowns, no kings. We’re not watching history happen—we’re making it. Join us.

A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.

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. You can read all about it here, (https://dropthechamber.org). Then sign a petition asking these companies to DROP the Chamber of Commerce.

Then do this: Go to this form, (https://www.notion.so/Tell-These-Big-Corps-to-Drop-the-US-Chamber-of-Commerce-5c60c8ccf4c14fabafb87fa70854c767) where you can click each purple link to auto-populate an email to CEOs at a major company.

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.
