The program will look ahead at what can be expected in coming months from state (and some national) legislative and administrative actions\, with a focus on what will have particular impact on Tucson and Southern AZ – and what we can do.  Our panel to date includes State Senator Priya Sundareshan (LD 18)\, Sandy Bahr\, director of the Sierra Club’s Grand Canyon Chapter\, and Kirsten Engel\, Chief\, Environmental Protection Unit of the AZ Attorney General’s Office.They will preview the policies\, places\, and programs that Arizonans will need to protect and promote.  Their complementary perspectives will give us a full picture of what we can and should do – as individuals and as an organization – to support an agenda of environmental protection and justice as we work for a sustainable future.   Following our guests’ comments\, we expect a lively question & answer session\, with a shared conversation on how to maintain and restore momentum on this work.”

SUMMARY:January 8th Memorial gathering
DESCRIPTION:by Carolyn Classen\, blogger \n\n\n\nThe January 8 Memorial is surrounded with blooming Palo Verde trees in the spring.\n\n\n\nGathering will mark 15-year anniversary of Jan. 8 shooting\n\n\n\nPIMA COUNTY – Jan. 8\, 2026\, marks 15 years since the tragic shooting that killed six people and wounded 13 others in northwest Tucson. At 10 a.m.\, Thursday\, Jan. 8\, Pima County officials\, survivors and community members will reflect and gather at the Jan. 8 Embrace Memorial adjacent to the Historic Pima County Courthouse\, 115 N. Church Ave. \n\n\n\nDistrict 1 Supervisor Rex Scott\, Pima County Board of Supervisors\, will offer opening remarks at the commemoration. \n\n\n\nThe event also will include: \n\n\n\n\nPresentation of flags by the Pima County Sheriff’s Department honor guard\n\n\n\nPrayer and reading of the names by Rev. Joe Fitzgerald\, Banner-University Medical Center chaplain\n\n\n\nBell ringing at exactly 10:10 a.m. to coincide with when the first shots were fired\n\n\n\nRemarks by former U.S. Congressman Ron Barber\, who was injured in the shooting\, and Tucson Mayor Regina Romero\n\n\n\n\nThe Memorial\, which is located just west of the Historic Courthouse in El Presidio Park\, 115 N. Church Ave.\, and called “Embrace\,” tells the story of the lives lost and people wounded at the hand of a gunman on January 8\, 2011\, at Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords’ “Congress on Your Corner” event in Tucson. It features sloping walls that depict symbols embodying the values and interests held by each of the six people who died and the 13 survivors\, including Giffords\, who was seriously injured in the attack. \n\n\n\nIn addition\, the Memorial showcases symbols dedicated to the community of first responders\, Tucson’s history\, and the aspirations of the community for the future. The Memorial also features gardens named for each of the six people who were killed. \n\n\n\nMore information about the Embrace Memorial is available at the Southern Arizona and Visitor Center website.“ \n\n\n\nCarolyn’s note: Has it been 15 years since Gabby was almost assassinated? She is now the wife of Arizona US Senator Mark Kelly. I remember her talented Congressional Aide I knew who were killed that day: Gabe Zimmerman\, dead at age 30. Plus I also knew some of the injured: Gabby of course and her District Director Ron Barber\, who later became a Congressman for a short while\, and Pam Simon\, another Congressional aide. My husband had taught Suzi Hileman\, a constituent who was shot as well several times. And unfortunately I also knew Amy Loughner\, mother of the shooter\, who was/is? the Mgr. of Agua Caliente Park in Pima County.

Spanish/English interpretation \n\n\n\nWith less than a day’s notice\, the first ICE OUT Community Assembly brought together over 200 people to plan how we will defend our communities and get rid of ICE for good.  The collective strength we felt has inspired us to continue these assemblies each month (second saturdays) so we can refine and grow our efforts together long-term. In the second assembly\, we will emphasize neighborhood-level organizing and develop tangible next steps\, so we all leave knowing what to do next. \n\n\n\nAs the same people commanding ICE increase their violence abroad\, it’s as important as ever that we build our capacity to resist. This assembly runs on people power\, so please invite your friends\, family and neighbors and consider printing out some flyers to distribute around town.”

SUMMARY:Eastside Tucson Free America Walkout
DESCRIPTION:by Carolyn Classen\, blogger \n\n\n\n“One year into Trump’s second regime\, we face an escalating fascist threat: raids on our communities\, troops occupying our cities\, attacks on immigrants\, families torn apart\, mass surveillance\, and terror used to keep us silent.  It is time for our communities to escalate as well.  \n\n\n\n2025 was a year of marches that showed our collective strength. And as the threats grow\, our movement must evolve and escalate. Trump and his allies have already made clear that a second term would bring a deeper wave of misogyny\, racism\, xenophobia\, and violence than the first. \n\n\n\nOn January 20\, we call on our communities to organize teams\, call your neighbors and classmates\, and turn your back and walk out on fascism. Host mutual aid planning meetings\, organize public service\, but walk out to block the normal routines of power\, and make the stakes real. This is a protest and a promise.  In the face of fascism\, we will be ungovernable.Important Details:This event will take place in front of the Eastside City Hall/Ward 2 Office located at 7820 E Broadway Blvd. If there are enough people\, we can also move out to cover all four corners of Broadway and Pantano. In any case\, the event will start at the Eastside City Hall/Ward 2 Office. It will last from 3:30-5:30pm. Parking is avalible at the Eastside City Hall and adjacent shopping centers along Broadway and Pantano. For parking on site\, turn in off of Broadway at Camp Bowwow\, and go behind it\, which should take you to the parking lot of the Ward 2 Office. Eastsiders\, let’s show this fascist regime we demand an end to the raids and cruelty! Make sure to bring a friend or relative and share the event on social media before tommorow\, if you can! \n\n\n\n★ We walk away from fascism. ★  \n\n\n\n★ We walk towards a Free America. ★ \n\n\n\n★ We fight for a future that belongs to us all. ★ \n\n\n\n★ Everybody in\, nobody out. ★  \n\n\n\n★ Welcome to the Free America Walkout ★”
