Orange County CA Protests & Events This Week (Jun 1-Jun 8, 2026)

Last updated on 

Dear Greater Orange County:

Important: Tomorrow, Tuesday June 2nd, is the deadline for the California primary election. It's critical for folks to turn out and vote in this primary election. Some key things to know:

  • Make sure to vote all the way down the ballot, and not just for governor. If you need help researching candidates, we recommend the comprehensive and nonpartisan Pride at the Pier election guide.
  • If you missed the deadline to register in advance, you can still show up at a vote center and register just before casting your ballot. If you lost your ballot, you can also go to a vote center. Vote centers are open now through Tuesday, June 2.
  • Please encourage everyone you know to vote by Tuesday, June 2! It's too late to mail your ballots because of new USPS rules about postmarks; instead, folks should go to a drop box or a vote center. Go to https://ocvote.org/voting to find the closest one to you!

And as always, please refer to the list below for your opportunities this week to get out, make connections, and start taking action! This weekly schedule may include protests, city council/school board meetings, community-oriented activities and mutual aid drives for basics & essentials.

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.
