| OXNARD — On May 1, 2026, workers, students, and families will join local organizations in Downtown Oxnard for a May Day Rally and March, as part of the May Day Strong Movement in over 1,000 cities nationwide to demand a country that puts people over profit. The action is part of a coordinated “No Work, No School, No Shopping” pledge to demonstrate solidarity with community members who continue to choose between basic needs amid increased fear due to ICE enforcement, while corporations and billionaires grow their wealth. Across California’s Central Coast, we rise together with one clear demand: ICE OUT OF THE 805.
WHO: Local organizations such as the Mixecto/Indigena Community Organizing Project (MICOP), Unidos805, 805UndocuFund, 805 Rapid Response, Future Leaders of America (FLA), Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy (CAUSE), Central Coast Labor Council (CCLC), Buen Vecino, VC Defensa, SEIU 2015, along with farmworker leaders.
What: May Day Strong is a network of hundreds of organizations and hundreds of thousands of working people coming together to stand against the billionaire agenda and build collective power. This May Day, local organizations across the Central Coast stand with the May Day Strong movement to highlight the communities we serve, many of whom have been affected by the detention of a loved one and suffer the pain of family separation. We unite together to demand ICE out of the 805 to continue protecting our communities.
Where: Plaza Park in Downtown Oxnard. Located at 500 S C. Street.
When: May 1, 2026, beginning at 2 pm.
