In recent weeks Trump supporters and immigration opponents have made the rounds at local-government meetings, seeking (and obtaining, more than a dozen times so far) resolutions to undermine the California Values Act (SB 54). Now they're targeting the Thousand Oaks City Council, and we must fight back. Send a letter to the editor of the Acorn or Star; participate in public comments during the April 24 city council meeting, and stand up for our immigrant neighbors!
Join this monthly day of canvassing and registering voters in Ventura County's most crucial swing region!
This Student Town Hall will allow Ventura County’s high school students to share their perspectives on gun violence with their congressional representative. Parents are welcome to attend.
Rep. Ted Lieu (CA 33) will address America's gun violence epidemic, and other important issues facing his district and the nation, as he greets students and other constituents during this Town Hall meeting. State Sen. Henry Stern (SD 27) will offer opening remarks.
The national uprising against gun violence has continued with protests and congressional Town Halls -- and Indivisible: Conejo is excited to be hosting Rep. Ted Lieu's Town Hall on May 5 in Agoura Hills! We're hitting the streets again to canvass and register voters this Sunday and next Saturday -- and we're selling Indivisible: Conejo tee shirts again, just in time for summer!
How can we sustain the momentum for curbing America's gun violence epidemic that has been created by the Parkland survivors and last week's March for Our Lives? Indivisible: Conejo is working with a coalition of student leaders and gun-violence-prevention groups to build on recent successes - beginning with a protest outside a "Friends of the NRA" fundraiser in Oxnard on Saturday 4/7.
Conejo Valley high school students' participation in the National Student Walkout on March 14 and the upcoming March For Our Lives -- sandwiched around the shooting at the Oaks Mall on the 17th and multiple threats of violence at Westlake High School -- have all brought local awareness of our national epidemic of gun violence to a fever pitch. Indivisible: Conejo remains ready to assist our students as they participate in the march this Saturday and another walkout on 4/20 -- and we remain at the forefront of the debate over how to enhance gun restrictions and keep our community safe.
Our CVUSD Challengers Forum on March 4 gave the candidates a chance to present their visions for our school district's future -- setting them up to defeat extremists Mike Dunn and John Andersen in November. Speaking of which, we're getting ready for Sunday's first Conejo Valley canvass with the DCCV, in Newbury Park. And we're helping area students organize their participation in L.A.'s March for Our Lives on 3/24. Check our calendar for details!
Even as we get ready for Indivisible: Conejo's CVUSD Challengers Forum, coming up this Sunday, we're helping facilitate area students' plans for participating in upcoming actions protesting America's epidemic of gun violence -- including school walkouts and the March For Our Lives on 3/24. We're also preparing for our first canvassing day in the Conejo Valley on 3/11 (in partnership with the DCCV) and our St. Patrick's Day trip to beautiful Bakersfield (to flip CA's 21st congressional district)!
The CVUSD school board's unanimous vote to censure trustee Mike Dunn, after he threatened the employer of a blogger who criticized him, shifted the debate heading into the 2018 campaign. Indivisible: Conejo helped lead the protests against Dunn, and on March 4 we'll host a forum for the candidates to replace him and his enabler John Andersen. There's also a calendar full of upcoming canvassing opportunities and community events!
Tensions boiled over this week surrounding the Conejo Valley USD school board -- and right-wing extremist Mike Dunn, in particular -- after he threatened a critic's employer. Next week's school board meeting will be a venue for protesting his unethical and dangerous behavior - and Indivisible: Conejo will be in the middle of those protests. Meanwhile, our Early Retirement Party for Rep. Steve Knight was a great success, and efforts to oust Rep. David Valadao in CA-21 got off to a fine start.
As we get ready for the Women's March & Ventura County Rising on Saturday 1/20, we're also excited about our Early Retirement Party for Rep. Steve Knight, coming up on the 27th -- and for the Postcard Parties that will help us send him off in style! There's also a civil-disobedience campaign afoot, as parents across the Conejo Valley reject the new CVUSD opt-in policy. Read all about it!
Indivisible: Conejo and SWAN have chartered buses ... and MORE buses ... for the January 20 Women's March L.A. We're going to have a strong contingent of Conejo Valley activists downtown! Check out this week's newsletter for details -- and for info on our Immigrants' Rights team's work to help oversee implementation of SB54, upcoming opportunities to flip GOP congressional districts, and more. And don't forget to Save The Date for our General Meeting on January 28!
Passage of the #TrumpTaxScam and repeal of Net Neutrality are bitter pills -- but Indivisible: Conejo is ready to use public outrage against Republicans in 2018. Until then, we look back on a wonderful holiday party ... and look ahead to our next General Meeting, the Women's March, and other events.
