• TIME: in person at 4:30 pm on Saturday, August 9.
• PLACE: the Woods Memorial Library, 3455 N 1st Ave, Tucson, AZ 85719.
• ICE is arresting American citizens.  Immigration agents are impeding a murder case against a carjacker, the County’s multi-million-dollar lawsuit against Trump, and the County’s demand to see warrants and ID from federal agents trying to bust into county facilities.   

Part 2: DGT Personal Self-Defense for Democratic Activists with expert trainer Victoria Suchanek.

Learn how to break free from an arm grab or a hold from behind—skills for protests and real-life threats (not for use against law enforcement). Techniques are adaptive for all ages, sizes, abilities, and mobility levels, including those using canes or wheelchairs. Open to everyone: seniors, students, parents, and more.
• TIME: in person on Sunday, August 17, from 12:30 to 2 pm.

Part 3: Know Your Legal Rights During Extreme Immigration Enforcement presented by renowned Tucson attorney Margo Cowan.

(True story) She’ll also cover how to avoid arrest at an anti-ICE protest. Margo has practiced Constitutional and Immigration law since 1986 and is the Founder of Pima County Justice for All.
• TIME: in person on Thursday, August 21, 2025, 5 to 6:30 pm.
