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 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:

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.

SUMMARY:Donating During a Fascist Crisis
DESCRIPTION:This session is a practical presentation about how to give money strategically in the current crisis of democracy.  \n\n\n\nWe’ll talk about the unusual and urgent nature of this moment\, and how both charitable giving and political giving may need to change in response. We’ll consider what kinds of organizations are most likely to make a real difference right now\, and how different giving strategies make sense for people in different financial situations.  \n\n\n\nThe focus is on how financial support for the resistance can be a powerful complement to—and a source of capacity behind—voting drives\, court challenges\, constituent lobbying\, mutual aid\, street protests\, and other forms of action. \n\n\n\nRegister on Mobilize: https://www.mobilize.us/indivisible/event/933367/

DESCRIPTION:by Carolyn Classen\, blogger \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n“Please join us April 20th at Noon via Zoom for a lively discussion with Bernadette Greene-Placentia who is running for Congress in CD 8 against incumbent MAGA Republican Paul Gosar (sic\, Abe Hamadeh\, as Paul Gosar represents CD 9) about her campaign\, her district\, her background and her policy priorities when elected to Congress. \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\nBernadette says of her candidacy: \n\n\n\nBernadette was raised in the rural Midwest\, where neighbors had each other’s backs\, you left your doors unlocked\, and hard work wasn’t a slogan; it was survival. \n\n\n\nBernadette is the right Candidate for Arizona’s District 8 and\, she is absolutely committed to representing everyone in the District\, regardless of party or who you voted for in the past. \n\n\n\nA Refreshing Change… Right? \n\n\n\nBernadette will roll up her sleeves to fight for the people politicians have forgotten. She will protect Social Security and Medicare. She will work to secure our borders without sacrificing our humanity.She will work to make healthcare affordable\, defend reproductive freedom\, and ensure that working middle class families finally have someone on their side. \n\n\n\nShe’s not a politician. She’s one of us\, and she’s ready to fight like hell to protect Arizona’s 8th Congressional  District.” \n\n\n\nCarolyn’s note: Bernadette was scheduled to speak at DGT on Feb. 2nd. She had a lung infection and postponed to April 20. She faces a Dem opponent Ray Keeler in the July 21 primary\, and the Dem winner in CD 6 will face off with incumbent Republican Abe Hamadeh in the General on Nov. 3. \n\n\n\nCurrent voter registration stats on CD 8 in Phoenix from AZ SOS: Dems 113\,110; Republicans 194\,843; Other 153\,780.
