Friend --

The Ventura County Board of Supervisors is asking for citizens to participate in the selection of a new CEO to replace Mike Powers who resigned after being accused of sexual harassment and making racist remarks.  The BOS wants you to tell them what priorities and qualities you think are most important when considering a candidate.   Now is your chance to influence their decision!  Fill out the survey by May 1st here: 

Here is the VC Star Article about this effort:

JUNETEETH BLOCK PARTY

We are looking for volunteers to help our Black brothers and sisters celebrate on Saturday June 18th in Thousand Oaks.  Juneteenth commemorates the final end of slavery in the US on June 19, 1865, when Union Army general Gordon Granger proclaimed freedom for slaves in Galveston, Texas, the last state of the Confederacy with institutional slavery.  If you are able to help with set-up and security or sit at our DSAVC table, please email us at [email protected]
