We met on August 20, 2026.  Our meeting focused on future speakers and the issues surrounding Flock cameras and other devices currently being deployed nationally and in our communities. It was a wide ranging discussion that also covered the proposed Data Center at the Ventura County Fairgrounds.

Our next meeting, scheduled for September 17, 2026, will feature a speaker from VC Defensa. We will discuss information regarding ICE activities and actions that can be taken by individuals. All are welcome to attend!  Please contact us if you are interested.

VC Defensa is hosting a "Summit to End the Terror Against the People" on September 6th in Oxnard, 11am - 8 pm. For more information, or to register, see their website: La Defensa del Pueblo.

Previous Meetings:

At our July 16 meeting our guest speaker was Ron Merkord, an ICE observer who also works with 805Undocufund. He spoke to us about several incidents he has observed, including a gardener who was apprehended at a gas station and had to leave behind all his equipment. Ron was able to to contact the family and have the gentleman’s property returned home.  Ron's presentation was clear and compassionate, and delivered in such a way that even someone who favors ICE would perhaps listen.

This meeting was recorded. We will post the link HERE when it becomes available.
