Resistance Action to Help Dreamers & DACA recipients!

Contact the Biden Administration and urge Mayorkas and Biden to finalize and publish the H-1B modernization rule to move DACA recipients to a more secure status and to expedite the processing of existing applications.

Action #1: Urge DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to finalize the H-1B modernization rule.

EMAIL: (Here’s our take. We aren’t immigration experts, so we’re emphasizing that he finish the work he started. Use personal stories if you can.)

Sec. Mayorkas, I’m writing to urge you to finalize the H-1B modernization rule. Your actions as USCIS director during the Obama administration to implement the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) process in just 60 days, protected our friends and neighbors, and there’s no amount of thanks we can give you for that.

Time is running out. Tell senators to fill every judicial vacancy and prevent Trump’s toxic version of “recess appointments.”

The chaos and corruption starts now. But legislators still want to be re-elected, and that’s where our power is.

Action #1 – Minimal call or email script to your (2) senators:
I’m calling from [zip code]. I want Senator [______] to vote to prioritize confirming Biden’s final pro-democracy judges, and to prevent “Recess Appointments” of Trump’s clown-car nominees for top positions in the his administration. The welfare of all Americans depends on people with both commitment to the constitution and expertise and we’re counting on you to do everything you can to safeguard our democracy.

Stop the #FakeNationalEmergency! Presidents’ Day Protest Ventura

Share, share, share the Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/events/2474989142574688/ – we need a HUGE turnout! This is a NATIONAL EVENT!

Join us on Presidents Day—Monday, 2/18 from noon to 1:30pm— on the corner of Victoria and Telephone in Ventura in front of the Government Center (800 S Victoria Ave, Ventura)

Bring your flags, signs, dress in red, white, and blue – and show what real patriots look like!

Donald Trump has declared a #FakeNationalEmergency—an illegal power grab from an unhinged man to push his racist, dangerous policies.

Let’s be clear: Trump is the real national emergency. In crisis moments like this—when a president abuses power so egregiously—how the citizenry responds in the immediate aftermath can shape the course of our country’s history. That’s why MoveOn members and allies are launching hundreds of events all across the country.

Together, we will say NO to Trump’s power grabs, NO to his racist border wall, NO to xenophobia, and NO to HATE.

Trump’s undemocratic power grab Continue reading “Stop the #FakeNationalEmergency! Presidents’ Day Protest Ventura” →

Did Mike Pompeo Think He Could Visit Ventura County and Not Get Protested?

On Sunday afternoon, Mike Pompeo delivered a speech at the Reagan Library and many of us from Indivisible Ventura joined in with our sister group and protest organizer, Indivisible Simi Valley, to “welcome” him to Simi Valley!

Driving in, we saw banners strewn across overpasses!

Outside of the Reagan Library, protest songs blared as we “greeted” Mr. Pompeo and his guests with signs and dancing as they arrived to hear his speech on Iran.

A beautiful day to be with friends, neighbors, and those who love our country – and a huge shoutout to those who supported us with honks and cheers in passing cars (even those leaving the Library after Continue reading “Did Mike Pompeo Think He Could Visit Ventura County and Not Get Protested?” →

Postcard Party for California District 1 on April 4th!

We will be joining a statewide effort to get out the vote in California District 1!

When: Wednesday, April 4th at 11:00AM – 2:00 PM
Where: Santino’s Pizza Parlor – 4321 Telegraph Rd, Ventura
Fun! Pizza will be provided! (A little cheese grease goes a long way toward making our postcards have that special “homey” touch!)

CD1 is LaMalfa’s district which is spread out, red, and rural. The CD1 Democratic Alliance have asked us to write postcards to their rural democratic voters, encouraging them to turn out to vote. We are not endorsing a candidate, just advocating power to the polls.

Our appeal will be directly to the voters in CA-1 – NOT mass political mailings, because all of our cards will be handwritten. Each will be a message from one voter to another. We are simply asking Americans to do that most American thing — VOTE!

Here are some tidbits from LaMalfa’s reelection site to inspire us:

“I am proud to have earned an A rating and the endorsements of the NRA and Gun Owners of America.”

“The current (immigration) policy Continue reading “Postcard Party for California District 1 on April 4th!” →

Monday 3/19 – “On your mark…get set…”

If Trump fires Mueller, local event link here. Don’t live here? Find your closest action with this link here.

From our increasingly rattled president, probably directly from his bathroom.

From a retired four-star Army general who received three Purple Heart medals for injuries sustained during his service in Vietnam, two Silver Stars for valor, and two Distinguished Service Crosses.

(From MoveOn)
Donald Trump is publicly considering firing Special Counsel Robert Mueller, the person leading the Department of Justice investigation of possible criminal actions by Donald Trump and members of his presidential campaign, as well as the efforts to conceal those activities.
