VENTURA — On Tuesday, August 12, immigrant and farmworker rights organizers, advocates, and community members will rally at the Ventura County Board of Supervisors meeting to call for the county to invest in legal support for the immigrant community following the recent ICE raids at the Glass House facility in Camarillo.
Residents are urging the Board to adopt two key proposals backed by 805 Immigrant:
- $1 million for Ventura County residents facing deportation to keep families together
$1 million in legal support for eligible immigrant families seeking to adjust their status
The call for support comes as local families remain in fear and distress following the July 10, 2025, Glass House raids. Community members, organizers, and advocates will make the case that these targeted investments will protect Ventura County’s essential workers, keep families together, and promote safety and stability for all residents.
WHEN: Tuesday, August 12, 2025 | 3:00 PM
WHERE: Ventura County Government Center, Hall of Administration, 800 S Victoria Ave, Ventura, CA
WHO: 805 Immigrant Coalition, 805 Undocufund, Mixteco/Indigena Community Organizing Project (MICOP), Buen Vecino, Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy (CAUSE), Central Coast Labor Council, Future Leaders of America (FLA), and Mariposa Advocacy and Legal Services.
WHY: Ventura County is home to thousands of immigrant residents who power the region’s agricultural economy and contribute to the community’s well-being. Advocates say this moment is an opportunity for the Board of Supervisors to lead with compassion, uphold community values, and take concrete steps toward immigrant justice.
VISUALS: Community members sharing stories, holding signs, and speaking during public comment.
