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.”

TUESDAY – 03/24/26 – VIRTUAL TRAINING – Know Your Rights: Supports Animals in Housing (1:00 am)

Assistance animals are wonderful helpers and companions for people with disabilities, but the process of keeping one in your home can be stressful. Join DRC’s Equal Access and Housing Practice Group as we discuss Californians’ rights to have assistance animals in their homes because of their disabilities.

This virtual workshop is aimed at tenants with disabilities.

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.

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.

THURSDAY – 04/09/2026

THURSDAY- 04/09/26 – VIRTUAL – Bystander Intervention to Stop Online Harassment: How to be an Ally When You Witness Abuse Online (10 am)

PEN America and Right to Be have partnered to provide training on how to intervene safely when you see a journalist attacked online. This training is also brought to you in partnership with the NYC Commission on Gender Equity, the Mayor’s Office of Equity and Racial Justice, and the NYC Commission on Gender Equity.

In this free, one-hour, interactive training, we’ll give you the tools you need to intervene safely and effectively in online abuse using Right To Be’s 5Ds of bystander intervention. First, we’ll talk through what online harassment is and how to identify abusive tactics. We’ll discuss the severe impact online abuse can have – on well being, livelihoods, and free expression – and how it’s drowning out voices that urgently need to be heard in public discourse. Then, we’ll share concrete strategies for how to distract, delegate, document, delay, or directly intervene in a way that is safe, effective, and centered on the needs of the person being targeted.

We’ll have time to practice so you can leave feeling more confident intervening the next time you see someone being abused online. We hope you’ll join us to learn how we can all band together to do your part to protect press freedom and defend the media from attacks on their independence, including online abuse and threats.

SATURDAY – 04/11/26 – OXNARD – Autism Awaremess (9 am – 3:00)

Helping residents across Ventura County and the Conejo Valley access federal services is one of the most important parts of my work in Congress. If you are considering traveling abroad, it is imperative that you keep your passport up to date. It’s important to note that some countries require that your passport be valid six months beyond the date of your trip.

I want to make sure that obtaining or renewing a passport is made as easy as possible. For that reason, I am hosting a Passport Fair on Saturday, April 11, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, at the Ventura County Office of Education, located at 5100 Adolfo Road, Camarillo, CA 93012.

At this event, staff from the Los Angeles Passport Agency will be on hand and available to provide assistance with renewing expired passports and submitting first-time applications for a new passport.

This event is by appointment only. For more information or to schedule an appointment, please call my office at (805) 379-1779.

Please come prepared with the following items: proper documentation and passport photos. To learn more about the application process and the materials you should bring with you to your appointment, click here. Representatives from my office will also be at the Passport Fair to answer any questions you may have.

As always, if you or someone you know needs assistance, please do not hesitate to contact my office at (805) 379-1779. I am here to help!

Sincerely,

JULIA BROWNLEY

Member of Congress

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.

ANYTIME – EMAIL CAMPAIGN – “Write to CEO’s to drop the U.S. Chamber of Commerce”

(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.“
