About us

VC Defensa is a coalition of local organizations dedicated to protecting the immigrant and refugee population of Ventura County.

How it works

1. We receive a call or text with suspected ICE activity in our communities.
2. Our trained team of volunteers responds within minutes, collecting evidence of ICE activity, speaking to the community, and spreading awareness of our rights.
3. Our dispatcher sends alerts to the community letting them know where ICE was seen.
4. We build community with know your rights trainings, political education, direct outreach, and volunteer sessions.
