VENTURA COUNTY — The Social Justice Fund for Ventura County (SJFVC) and Chalice Community Forums will host a zoom event where Sara Guillen, Elibet Valencia Muñoz, and Maria Rodriguez will present their social justice projects and their impact in Ventura County. All three Xicana and Latina women were recipients of the Social Justice Fellowship grant and leadership program from the SJFVC. Come hear about social justice issues in our county and the progress made towards addressing them! This zoom meeting is a follow up from a January Community Forum, “New Voices for Justice.”
Social Justice fellowships are awarded to emerging leaders in Ventura County who have a passion for social justice and who work on a project impacting social justice in our county. Sara will discuss the results of her study to identify issues of both food insecurity and healthy eating habits and how her work has impacted food bank distribution in Oxnard. Elibet will share progress on her photo-documentary project of a traditional Indigenous dance from Oaxaca, Mexico, “Dance of the Devils“; and profiling one of the many groups that perform this dance today. She will show some of the photos of the amazing masks and costumes that are part of the dance. Maria will share her work on fraud perpetrated on undocumented immigrants trying to attain legal representation.
