Proud. Loud. Unapologetically American.
Founded on Flag Day in 2021, 805 Patriots began with a simple mission: to bring patriotic Americans together and remind people that they are not alone.
What started as a small grassroots gathering in California's 805 area code has grown into one of the largest patriotic organizations and grassroots movements in Southern California. Today, 805 Patriots brings together thousands of Americans from across San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange County, and beyond.
For over five years, we have organized and promoted patriotic events that celebrate faith, freedom, family, and the values that make America great. From patriotic flag runs and Trump rallies to overpass demonstrations, street corner rallies, speaking events, community gatherings, and family-friendly celebrations, our goal has always been the same: unite like-minded Americans and inspire them to proudly stand for what they believe in.
Why We Do It
California is often portrayed as a place where conservative and patriotic voices are outnumbered or ignored. We know that is far from the truth.
Every day, countless Americans stay silent because they fear being judged, criticized, or canceled for their beliefs. Many feel isolated and wonder if anyone else around them shares their values.
805 Patriots exists to change that.
When people see hundreds—or even thousands—of American flags flying together, trucks lined up in patriotic convoys, families gathering in support of freedom, and communities standing shoulder to shoulder, they realize something powerful:
They are not alone.
Our events are about giving people hope, courage, and confidence. We want every American to know they can be proud of their country, proud of their values, and proud to stand up for what they believe.
Whether it's wearing a MAGA hat, flying an American flag, supporting law enforcement, honoring veterans, defending constitutional freedoms, or simply loving this country, we believe Americans should never be afraid to show their patriotism.

More Than an Organization
Despite our name, 805 Patriots is no longer just an 805 movement.
We are a Southern California movement. A California movement. And ultimately, an American movement.
Our mission is to build a community where patriots can connect, form friendships, support one another, and work together to preserve the values that have made this nation the greatest country in the world.
We believe patriotism is contagious. Every flag flown, every rally held, every convoy driven, and every conversation started inspires someone else to stand a little taller and speak a little louder.
Looking Forward
As we continue to grow, our commitment remains unchanged.
We will continue organizing events, bringing communities together, supporting causes that matter, and reminding Americans that freedom is worth celebrating and defending.
Our vision is simple:
To create a movement that inspires Americans to be proud of their country, proud of their beliefs, and proud to stand up for what is right—regardless of where they live.
Because patriotism isn't something that should be hidden.
It should be celebrated.
Founder
805 Patriots was founded in 2021 and continues to be organized and led by Charles DiMauro.
From the beginning, the focus has never been about one person—it has always been about the people. The movement exists because thousands of patriots throughout California have chosen to show up, stand together, and prove that the American spirit is alive and well.
Together, we are showing California, the nation, and the world that patriotism is not fading away.
It is growing stronger every day.
Proud. Loud. American.
