UPDATE 2:
805 Patriots are now pouting bc they were not allowed to participate in a family friendly community event. What they fail to acknowledge is that community members presented organizers with video of the maga truck club members committing crimes and assaulting members of the community.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who signed up, supported, and believed in bringing this event to life-your enthusiasm and commitment to our community truly mean so much to us.

“California is the seat of Jezebel and sexual perversion in our nation, and that spirit must be dealt with on 4/11.’ So for the next 40 minutes we are going to repent for the sexual perversion that has come out of California”

Thanks to all the local activists who worked together to hold this event accountable. Groups that attack members of our community are not welcome. We see you. We never forget.

Chris Carafelli’s profile on facebook showing him as a member of SoCal Patriots- socal patriots is the 805 patriots’ fb group
Social media post advertising Chris Carafelli as the 2026 Conejo Valley Days Parade grand marshall
7/8
Our suspicion is that because the 2026 Grand Marshall, Chris Carafelli, has been a member of 805 Patriots facebook group since August of 2024, the Parade organizers were forced to pull the plug to avoid the controversy.

And today we learned the event is being cancelled due to “unforeseen logistical and operational challenges that would not allow us to deliver the quality and experience our community deserves.”

But community members were not satisfied and refused to accept 805 Patriots being platformed at a family friendly community event. Boycotts and protests were widely discussed.
Screenshot of portion of initial email response from parade organizer: As this is the 250th anniversary of our country, we agreed that celebrating this milestone would be a suitable motif and celebratory messaging for the group to convey in the parade. We were clear about only American flags and no political signs or tshirts. He readily agreed. We were also clear to him that we would have one of our sheriff escorts directly in front of their float, and if they suddenly took out any political banners or any other political items/speech, that the sheriff would escort them immediately off the parade route.
4/8
The parade committee initially tried to placate concerned community members via email, suggesting 805 Patriots would be escorted out of the parade if they do anything divisive.

Local activists and orgs then created and circulated a detailed document that archived 805 Patriots engaged in several violent and racist incidents, including pepper spraying an LGBTQIA+ activist and rolling coal at a group of elderly demonstrators.👇 bsky.app/profile/cvan...

Last week we called out the Parade committee for allowing 805 Patriots to participate in the parade. We shared research with other local activists, documenting their extremist and violent behaviors👇 bsky.app/profile/cvan...

NEW: Vice President JD Vance follows fascists and antisemites on X. Several accounts joke about Holocaust denial, one has called himself a “fascist,” another a “national socialist,” and a third says Hitler was “the lesser evil.”
Hello habibis I just watched a bunch of faith healers tell a woman to stop walking with a cane @katerqburns.bsky.social and I are at the LA Coliseum because Che Ahn is doing his big “Hope Fest LA” thing
“They are trying to invent antifa as an int'l threat to tie it to groups...in the US...the administration is further down the path of twisting the counterterrorism machinery of the U.S. gov't to going after domestic political opponents than people realize.”

Sorry but not excited about copy/pasting 50-year-old space age tech. At least not while ICE, CPB, and MAGA fascism continues to run over vulnerable members of our community.

While some justice was restored by the jury’s decision, the beatings, the surveillance, and the trauma that John and others across the state and nation have had to endure cannot be ignored. #ICEOUT

And here is the video of Brad Imrie intentionally emitting black toxic diesel fumes towards a small group of peaceful demonstrators, including elderly and children. 805 Patriots celebrated this saying, “Hope they enjoyed the smoke”

Brad has been a 805 Patriots member and close friend of Charles DiMauro for some time. Here he is reckless driving alongside another member flying a confederate flag.

The real Conejas and Conejos of the Conejo Valley do not support events that tolerate or platform violent extremism, hate speech, or bigotry of any kind. You can email the Parade organizers here to demand they keep 805 Patriots out of this event.👇

Add from Conejo Valley Days Parade: pictute of waving bunny in western wear, “Grab your boots and ten-gallon hat, and join us for a day filled with fun, music, and nostalgia for the "good old days" of Conejo Valley.”
4/6
The Conejo Valley Days promises a day filled with fun, music, and nostalgia for the "good old days" of Conejo Valley. With the MAGA 805 Patriots participation, this means nostalgia for racism and Queerphobia.

Members of 805 Patriots have also been documented engaging in overt racism. We have video of an 805 Patriot member calling a police officer the n-word. And another 805 Patriot follower was ID’d as the hate speech racist Karen in Ventura👇 bsky.app/profile/cvan...
