In the past year, Ventura County has experienced a troubling rash of bigotry and hate incidents. In February and March, a group of White Supremacists hung hateful banners over the 101 Freeway in Newbury Park. In June, hateful anti-LGBTQ+ graffiti was sprayed on the walls of a Newbury Park elementary school and virulently antisemitic flyers were distributed in Moorpark and Thousand Oaks neighborhoods. In July, a sign welcoming the LGBTQ+ community was vandalized at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Thousand Oaks. Disturbing hate crimes and hate incidents have been reported, particularly targeting people of color, in person and online, and many schools are struggling with an unprecedented rise in racial slurs and bullying on their campuses. With the rising tide of hate in Ventura County, the time is right to bring our community together.
