A Brief History of CLUE-VC
CLUE-VC was established in 2001 through the realization that the voices of people of faith are powerful yet were missing from the livable wage debate. In partnership with churches and faith communities throughout Ventura County, we developed successful campaigns resulting in a living wage standard for Ventura County, the creation of more than 500 units of new farm worker affordable housing, and a moratorium on Walmart in Ventura. Since then, CLUE-VC has emerged as a vital participant and faith community mobilizer in efforts to achieve economic justice.
Today we recognize that some of the most marginalized, vulnerable and disadvantaged people within Ventura County are our farm workers and immigrant families. Through training congregants and bringing the workers’ voices to city coalitions and decision makers, we advocate for humane and just living and working conditions for Ventura County families.
CLUE-VC’s Next Event
Interfaith Vigil & Posadas
Saturday, December 10th, 2011 | 4:00 to 6:00pm
International Human Rights Day- A Global Day of Action for the Rights of Migrants, Refugees & Displaced People
La Plaza Park, 500 South C Street, Oxnard, 93030
Immigrants and Diverse Faith Communities come together to share the Posadas tradition— a retelling of the story of Mary and Joseph as they seek shelter and welcome. We honor the experience of homelessness and migration and recognize our common calling to ‘welcome the stranger’. Together we will shine a light for the urgent need for just and humane immigration reform and radical welcome.
Join us for dramatic reenactment, prayers, music, food and celebration. Together we will shine a light for justice!
