MLK Committee of Ventura County

MLK Committee of Ventura County is a non-profit organization based in Oxnard, California, dedicated to honoring the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. We champion awareness, unity, and community achievement throughout Ventura County. Our annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Day celebration, including the ‘Freedom March’ and Observance program, serves as a vital platform for recognizing positive impact and inspiring civic engagement. We are committed to upholding Dr. King’s principles of justice and equality, fostering a more equitable society for all residents.

The Committee’s core mission is to provide continuous awareness of Dr. King’s life, leadership, and lasting impact, and to celebrate his dream through our annual Birthday Observance. We actively enlighten and enrich the community by highlighting local leaders and promoting educational opportunities. Our annual event, held at the Oxnard Performing Arts Center, draws a diverse crowd and serves as a cornerstone of community engagement.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we rely on the support of sponsors and volunteers to continue our work. We are proud to contribute to a vibrant and inclusive Ventura County, carrying forward Dr. King’s vision for a better future.
