Ventura County must prioritize treatment of the seriously mentally ill and develop a just and easy-to-navigate continuum of care. Thank you to Suz Montgomery, Mary Haffner, Dr. Jeffrey Hayden and Denise Wise for enlightening us on this issue.

Gun Sense:
Club Panel Discussion A group of panelists whose lives were changed by gun violence in our community discuss their experiences, their passion for gun control, and ways to get involved as a gun-control activist so our children are safer. This is a quality-of-life issue. Our public places and our schools should not be a battle ground. Let's keep our Nation BLUE. Let's keep our loved ones SAFE. |
