Driving Directions 
This year's tour will take guests around the county to visit sites and hear firsthand about the impact of current immigration policies on Ventura County residents and activists' views on needed reforms. 

 

The tour will provide a look at the Bracero/Guest worker program, an understanding of the historical context for U.S immigration policies, a conversation with Ventura County's Clergy and Laity United for Economic Justice "Dreamers", Colectivo Todo Poder Al Pueblo (All collective power to the people), La Hermandad, Cafe on A and the Consulate of Mexico. The tour will end with a tribute to our farm workers at the only national monument honoring them, located in Santa Paula.

Social Justice Fund's Bus Tours are designed to spotlight community organizations that are making a positive difference in our corner of the world.  More importantly, you get a chance to meet face-to-face with people who are on the front lines of dealing with social justice issues.  On this tour, you will be able to engage in dialogue with community organizers who are bringing together immigration coalitions, professors, and other community allies to gain more of an understanding of the U.S immigration system.
