SUMMARY:Tucson Communidad y Labor Unity Rally
DESCRIPTION:by Carolyn Classen\, blogger \n\n\n\nUPDATE 3/16/26 from FB page:  \n\n\n\nhttps://www.facebook.com/ArizonaCesarChavezCoalition \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrevious info & flyer below\, note the change from Cesar Chavez march & rally. News sources are reporting “sensitive information” re: Cesar Chavez. Altough Chavez died in 1993\, the allegations are now about his alleged abuse of female minors and rape of fellow activist Dolores Huerta. Unsure how this will affect the upcoming City of Tucson holiday on March 30. \n\n\n\nhttps://www.tucsonsentinel.com/local/report/031626_chavez_rally/cesar-chavez-march-tucson-canceled-over-allegations-sexual-abuse-minors \n\n\n\n\n\n“This annual March starts at Pueblo HS\, 3500 S. 12th Ave. and goes to Rudy Garcia Park\, 5001 S. Nogales Hwy. \, Tucson 85706.” \n\n\n\n\n\nCarolyn’s note: Chavez was born on March 31\, 1927 in Yuma\, Arizona. He was a civil rights leader for United Farm Workers\, as was his colleague Dolores Huerta\, who is still alive. He died in 1993\, at age 66.

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.“

We will have hundreds of free parking spots and several food trucks. The marches have been measured and are no longer than 30 minutes.

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.

Pennington St.\, Tucson\n\n\n\n\nGet ticketsCarolyn’s note: After a day of No Kings marching & protesting\, check out this evening fundraiser to raise $ for Coyote Task Force\, which has been assisting people to recover from mental illness for 32 years. It was one of my favorite restaurants when I worked downtown for Pima County Consolidated Justice Courts. My biological mother was mentally ill so I know what it’s like to live with mental illness. And she lived to age 95 and wouldn’t seek counseling.

SUMMARY:Enviros for JoAnna Mendoza
DESCRIPTION:Congressman Juan Ciscomani has been a disaster for the environment\, fully supporting the Trump agenda. Please join me and many other folks who support the environment\, public lands\, sustainability\, and climate action by supporting someone who\, with our help\, will replace him this November. Please support our environmentally focused efforts by becoming a co-host of Enviros for Mendoza. Jo Mendoza is a strong candidate: raised in rural Arizona\, a 30-year Army veteran (who was a drill instructor!)\, and — this is important — endorsed by the League of Conservation Voters. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur fundraiser is a little different than others. You donate or pledge a set amount\, and we revise the invitation (see attached) to include your name and send it back to you. You can use this new invitation to invite family\, friends\, and colleagues. It doesn’t matter if you can attend or not (though you should attend — it will be fun and wonderful people will be there!). The event is on Sunday\, March 29\, 2 to 4 pm\, at a central Tucson location (a lovely home and yard).
