SUMMARY:No Kings protest from Tucson to Oro Valley
DESCRIPTION:by Carolyn Classen\, blogger \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday\, March 28\, 9 am – 11 am\n\n\n\n“Join us on March 28th for NO KINGS: From Tucson to Oro Valley — Corners of Democracy & Eight Miles of Action!  \n\n\n\nCommunity members across Southern Arizona are coming together for a coordinated\, nonviolent day of action stretching along Oracle Road from the Tucson Mall north to Oro Valley. Instead of one centralized rally\, this event will create a visible corridor of democracy across six major intersections\, showing that our communities stand together in support of democratic values and the rule of law. \n\n\n\nThis is one unified event made possible by many local groups working together. Each intersection will be co-hosted by an organization or team of volunteers who help steward their corner by welcoming participants\, supporting safety\, and creating a positive\, community-centered presence. \n\n\n\nWe are currently looking for: \n\n\n\n• Organizations\, congregations\, civic groups\, or teams of volunteers willing to co-host an intersection (Co-hosts help mobilize participants\, support a welcoming environment\, and coordinate volunteers at their location.) \n\n\n\n• Volunteers to join the Safety Squad at each intersection (Training and guidance will be provided.) \n\n\n\n• Medics willing to support participant wellbeing at each location. \n\n\n\nIf you or your organization would like to get involved\, please contact Amy (asgosla5@proton.me) or Katie (kteAct@proton.me) \n\n\n\nAnd of course\, sign up to participate at the location of your choice. Together\, from Tucson to Oro Valley\, we are putting democracy into action — corner by corner\, community by community. \n\n\n\nNo thrones. No crowns. No kings. \n\n\n\nSign up for the Oro Valley corner (Intersection #6 of 6 North 1st Avenue & North Oracle Road\, Oro Valley\, AZ 85737) here: https://www.mobilize.us/nokings/event/905575/ \n\n\n\nFor the map of all events: https://www.nokings.org/“

SUMMARY:No Kings protest in midtown Tucson
DESCRIPTION:by Carolyn Classen\, blogger \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTime\n\n\n\nSaturday\, March 28 \n\n\n\n10am – 2pm MST \n\n\n\nLocation\n\n\n\nNorth Country Club Road & East Speedway BoulevardTucson\, AZ 85716Map \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\n“Hey friends let’s do this again\, our last be seen event had almost 15\,000 people. Let’s make it bigger this time. Let’s be seen on COUNTRY CLUB and SPEEDWAY and let the world see us and know we are here proud and strong and that we do not stand for what’s going on. We stand for what’s right. I’ll see you there loud and proud\, let’s show them they are not alone in how they feel about everything going on. \n\n\n\nWe have the power and are claiming it together. No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings. \n\n\n\nWhat began in 2025 as a single day of defiance has become a sustained national resistance to tyranny\, spreading from small towns to city centers and across every community determined to defend democracy. Our peaceful movement is bigger than ever. \n\n\n\nWhen our families are under attack and costs are pushing people to the brink\, silence is not an option. We will defend ourselves and our communities against this administration’s unjust and cruel acts of violence. \n\n\n\nOn March 28th\, rise up\, take to the streets\, and say it loud: no thrones\, no crowns\, no kings. We’re not watching history happen—we’re making it. Join us. \n\n\n\nA core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind\, including those legally permitted\, should not be brought to events.“

There will also be audience generated music and community based tables. \n\n\n\nOur goal is to encourage conversations between the age groupings of “boomer\,” “Gen X\,” “millennial\,” and “Gen Z”. We also hope to provide a safe entry for those wishing to find out what to do. \n\n\n\nThe area around the bandshell will be family friendly\, with activities for kids (and very near a playground). We will have hundreds of free parking spots and several food trucks. The marches have been measured and are no longer than 30 minutes. There is extensive handicapped access that will be explained in the schedule (up to near the bandshell). \n\n\n\nAdelita Grijalva has graciously consented to speaking. Mark Kelly\, Ruben Gallego\, and Juan Ciscomani were also invited but haven’t responded as yet. Our young adults are rehearsing their speeches to inform\, amuse\, and provoke. Join us!”

SUMMARY:Meet Brent Newby\, candidate for AZ Supe for Public Instruction
DESCRIPTION:by Carolyn Classen\, blogger \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCarolyn’s note: So many Dems running for this position\, hard to remember them all: Dr. Michael Butts\, Dr. Teresa Leyba Ruiz\, and now Brent Newby. One of them will face off with incumbent Superintendent Tom Horne (but he is being challenged in the July 21 Republican primary by state Treasurer Kimberly Yee.) So Dem Newby is surely a “newbie” to this race.

SUMMARY:Justice of the Peace Kristel Ann Foster at DGT
DESCRIPTION:by Carolyn Classen\, blogger \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Join us on Zoom on March 30th at Noon for a discussion of the role of the Justice Courts in our civic and personal lives\, and the candidacy for re-election of Hon. Kristel Ann Fosterfor Judge\, Pima County Justice Court\, Precinct 8. Judge Foster will discuss these matters with us and take questions from the attendees. \n\n\n\nYou Must Register in Advance for this Event:\n\n\n\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/jrZwEhF-T6SeaV0LjEBCIg\n\n\n\nJudge Foster’s campaign says: \n\n\n\nKristel Ann Foster was elected as a Justice of the Peace in 2022 and is up for re-election in 2026. Along with overseeing civil cases and a range of misdemeanor criminal cases\, like DUIs\, shoplifting and speed racing\, Kristel Ann presides over the Pima County Domestic Violence Specialty Court. This court serves defendants with second offenses or more serious charges of misdemeanor domestic violence. Judge Foster communicates weekly with local providers who support defendants in completing state mandated domestic violence treatment sessions. She requires defendants report back to court multiple times for compliance throughout their terms of probation and engages them in conversation aroundwhat they are learning and what impact this work is having on their lives. \n\n\n\nJudge Foster assures justice prevails\, and prioritizes services and supports\, not just penalties and punishment. She takes time to make sure everyone understands and that everyone leaves with more information than when they arrived. She follows the law and assures any interpretation is not skewed in favor or against any kind of individuals. Ultimately\, Kristel Ann honors the guiding principle that we are innocent until proven guilty and treats everyone with the respect and kindness that this deserves. \n\n\n\nMore information at https://www.fosterjusticepeace.com/ \n\n\n\nCarolyn’s note: Prior to running for JP\, Kristel served 2 terms on TUSD Governing Bd. (2013 to 2020).  She is an educator\, not an attorney. Kristel was elected JP in Nov. 2022 for Precinct 8.

Alma holds a Bachelor of Science and Master of Public Health and a Master’s in Legal Studies from the University of Arizona. She also has advanced training at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health\, and a Juris Doctor from the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law. She has served as both a legislator and a professor for years. \n\n\n\nWidely recognized as the most effective Democrat in the legislature\, Alma has a proven track record of breaking through glass ceilings. Despite a Republican-controlled legislature\, Alma has passed ten laws\, secured millions for Southern Arizona\, strengthened labor unions\, advanced criminal justice reform\, protected reproductive freedom\, and expanded health care access. Her leadership is informed by personal experience navigating a broken juvenile justice system and by a lifelong commitment to ensuring every family has a fair shot. She has proudly serves as Chair of the Health Policy Committee for the National Hispanic Caucus of State Legislators\, helping shape health policy for Latino communities across the country. Her professional experience extends beyond the Capitol\, including humanitarian medical work in Ghana and Panama\, where she delivered care to women and children. Alma understands that policy is personal and that access to quality health care\, education\, and opportunity can change lives. \n\n\n\nA proud Mexican Jew and daughter of a construction worker and an immigrant from Mexico\, Alma never forgets where she comes from. She governs by delivering results and fighting every day for Southern Arizona. Alma is a champion for underserved communities and a proponent of bold\, common-sense leadership. She is proud of her record\, grateful for her community’s trust\, and ready to continue fighting for Southern Arizona and the values that make opportunity possible for all as the next State Senator of District 20.” \n\n\n\nCarolyn’s note:  Alma is facing a Dem primary on July 21 with former Ward 5 Councilman Rocque Perez\, who was appointed to that position in May\, 2025 after the retirement of long time Counciman Richard Fimbres.  Alma is the sister of former House Rep. Daniel Hernandez and current LD 21 Rep. Consuelo Hernandez\, who is also running for re-election in 2026.

SUMMARY:Miranda Lopez\, candidate for LD 21 House at DGT
DESCRIPTION:by Carolyn Classen\, blogger \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Please join us on April 13th at Noon via Zoom for a lively discussion with Miranda Lopez who is running for Arizona State Representative in LD 21 about her campaign\, her district\, and her position on the pressing issues facing our state. \n\n\n\nYou Must Register in Advance for this Event:\n\n\n\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/4ymUrLavTYe-or_i45z-Aw\n\n\n\nMiranda says of herself and her campaign: \n\n\n\nI graduated from the University of Arizona in 2018 (Bear Down!) and began my career working in grassroots organizing with the statewide Democratic Coordinated Campaign where I served as both a Field Organizer and later a Regional Organizing Director. \n\n\n\nIn 2021\, I was Executive Director of the Pima County Democratic Party\, where I focused on building local party and data infrastructure\, supporting candidates\, and strengthening community engagement across Southern Arizona. \n\n\n\nI started working for the Arizona Students’ Association in 2023 where I advocated for college students at the state legislature\, developed student leaders at the University of Arizona\, and mobilized young people to take action against harmful legislation. During this time I decided to return to school\, and along the way I joined United Campus Workers and was elected as their Treasurer. After working a fulltime job and being a fulltime student\, I finally graduated with my Masters in Public Administration in May of 2025. \n\n\n\nI believe real change happens when communities are organized\, informed\, and empowered — and that’s the approach I bring to everything I do.” \n\n\n\nCarolyn’s note: This is a 4 way Dem primary for 2 House seats\,  with Miranda challenging two incumbents\, Consuelo Hernandez and Stephanie Stahl Hamilton\, along with another political newcomer Maritza Higuera. The AZ Primary is on July 21\, 2026 this year. Consuelo is sister to LD 20 House Rep. Alma Hernandez\, now running for Senate in that LD\, and also former House Rep. Daniel Hernandez. Stephanie was a House Rep. in LD 10 prior to running for LD 21. \n\n\n\nShare this:

SUMMARY:Architect Bob Vint at Sustainable Tucson meeting
DESCRIPTION:by Carolyn Classen\, blogger \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApril 14 @ 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm \n\n\n\n“Sustainable Tucson Monthly Meeting\, 2nd Tuesday\, 6:00-7:30 pm\, on Zoom. Join us Tuesday\, April 14 at 6:00 pm for Sustainable Tucson’s monthly Sustainability Spotlight program. Our speaker will be Robert Vint\, Assistant Professor of Architecture and longtime Tucson architect. He will speak on designing for the desert. Details and the Zoom link for the meeting will be on our website www.sustainabletucson.org\, and on our Facebook and Meetup pages. To be added to our newsletter e-list\, send your name and email address to paula@sustainabletucson.org. \n\n\n\nSustainable\, Affordable Building:Ancient & Modern Designs for Living in the Sonoran Desert\n\n\n\nTuesday\, April 14\, 2026\, 6:00-7:15 pmZoom: <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88387731024?pwd=eiaCBZIjaB6iiHiRSAQiI2PPKUpsXx.1>\n\n\n\nMany of the solutions for climate and habitat resilience are hiding in plain sight.  Come to this month’s Sustainability Spotlight to learn about building design principles that help urban and rural communities weather extreme heat and dryness more effectively and\, ultimately\, at lower cost than “building as usual.” Our speaker\, Bob Vint\, has a decades-long career in architecture and is an active teacher in the classroom and in the field.  His latest field project involved a trip with UA architecture students to Agua Prieta\, Sonora\, where they designed and constructed housing for a local family in partnership with Rancho Feliz. Working alongside local builders and community members\, students helped complete a single-family home using the Highly-Johansen system\, a construction approach designed to perform in extreme desert climates.  This community-engaged learning model connects design education with real-world impact and is a model that may have real-world applications in a variety of endeavors.\n\n\n\nBOB VINT is a native Tucsonan who has practiced as a licensed architect in Arizona\, New Mexico\, Texas\, and Massachusetts.  He serves as preservation architect for the Mission San Xavier del Bac in Pima County\, the most significant historic building in Arizona (dating to 1783\, built of low-fire clay brick with lime mortar)\, as well as for the prehistoric Native American Cliff Dwellings of the Sierra Ancha in the Tonto National Forest (dating to 1290\, built of stone with mud mortar).  Additional projects of note include Linda Ronstadt’s Tucson residence\, the main entrance to the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum\, and the mixed-use Plaza San Agustin in downtown Tucson.\n\n\n\nVint is author of a book on affordable housing in the Southwest published by the department of Housing & Urban Development\, Southwest Housing Traditions: Design\, Materials\, Performance (2005).  Since 2011\, he has been a member of the adjunct faculty at the University of Arizona’s College of Architecture\, Planning & Landscape Architecture.  His courses include the History & Theory of Urban Design and Arid Region Urbanism\, featuring field trips throughout the Southwest.”\n\n\n\nhttps://capla.arizona.edu/directory \n\n\n\nCarolyn’s note:  Bob Vint has worked on the historic San Xavier del Bac Mission and on the Ranchhouse at Agua Calente Park\, where I was a board member for five years.
