Please join MICOP as we celebrate Ventura County's indigenous immigrant community. We invite you to gather and enjoy a traditional dinner of Oaxacan mole, music, art and dancing. Now in its fourth year, Night in Oaxaca will award college scholarships and highlight indigenous community successes. Proceeds from the event benefit the programs of the Mixteco/Indigena Community Organizing Project (MICOP). Join us this year to honor
leaders and traditions on the International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples.

Who We Are
MICOP
unites indigenous leaders and allies to strengthen the Mixtec and
indigenous immigrant community of Ventura County, estimated at 20,000
people. Most are strawberry farmworkers, and many speak primarily their
indigenous language. MICOP's majority-indigenous staff builds
community leadership and self-sufficiency through education and training
programs, language interpretation, health outreach, humanitarian
support, and cultural promotion. We organize the community to advocate
for shared concerns. MICOP reaches approximately 5,000 individuals each
year.
