Orange County CA Protests & Events This Week (Jul 27-Aug 3, 2026)

Dear Greater Orange County:

Here are your opportunities this week to get out, make connections, and take action! This weekly schedule includes protests, city council/school board meetings, community-oriented activities and mutual aid drives for basics & essentials.

Standout events this week (keep scrolling down for full details):

Tues 7/28: Garden Grove GKN Rally - "The Garden Grove City Council has cancelled yet another scheduled meeting, extending more than two months of inaction on the chemical crisis. The Council will not convene again until August 11 — seven weeks after its last session, at which residents demanded the City enact an immediate moratorium no later than July 14. Join us for a rally to demand the council invokes an immediate moratorium, stops GKN’s expansion, and shuts down GKN!"

Event listings are collected from community groups across Orange County and do not imply endorsement. Assess your own risk before participating!

The @50501oc and @ocindivisible Rally for Democracy takes place at rotating locations every Sunday except the last Sunday of each month, where we hold our food drive at the Really Really Free Market Anaheim.
