‘We All Count,’ Says Census Organizer
Region 5 Coordinator, Dr. Gabino Aguirre, recently sat down with the Moorpark Acorn to discuss his work with the Ventura County Complete Count.
"Agora, mais do que nunca, apercebo-me da importância do recenseamento. Como membro da Comissão de Redistritamento dos Cidadãos da Califórnia, utilizámos os dados do recenseamento de 2010 para 'redistritar' 173 distritos políticos na Califórnia. Agora vejo que as pessoas que não foram recenseadas em 2010 não foram teoricamente representadas nesta redistribuição e, por conseguinte, foram excluídas desta representação."
Grand Opening of Ventura County Family Justice Center
VCCF is proud to support the Ventura County Family Justice Center in their remarkable grand opening. The new center is designed to be a singular place to help victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, human trafficking, and elder or dependent abuse.
A host of county services are on site to offer this help ranging from Ventura County Legal Aid and Interface Children & Family Services to law enforcement and child support services. The goal of the center is to minimize trauma for the victim and reduce the cycle of violence in a proactive way.
