I created a subreddit, because watching our freedoms being taken away is so horrifying, to help make activism easy and accessible. The page is a compilation of events, opportunities, messaging, etc from local Arizona advocacy groups.

​

What's on the page:

• Textbanking

• Postcarding

• Phonebanking

• Zoom calls

• Messaging points

• Tons more

If you want to get involved and help us protect our freedoms, I would love to see you there.

Hi everyone,

I'm Valé, an organizer at Swing Left, and I wanted to reach out to make sure you didn't miss our invitation to join Team Up Maricopa County.

The Team Up training program brings together a core team of new co-leaders to start a Swing Left group in your community, to defend democracy and defeat MAGA extremism. Local grassroots groups are truly the superpower of the progressive movement—and organizing early is how we’ll win. We’re looking for passionate volunteers ready to increase your impact by reaching more volunteers and voters to make the difference in the most competitive races right at home such as Arizona's 1st and 6th Congressional Districts. We also have a variety of targets next door in California, New Mexico, Nevada, and beyond!

2024 will be a critical election. We must re-elect Biden-Harris, defend our narrow Democratic Senate majority, win back the House, and build state power for Democrats—the only way to strengthen our democracy and make progress on the issues we care about. And it’ll take all of us, working together, to make sure we have a government that works for the people.

That’s where folks like you come in. Through Team Up, we'll match you up with a team of dedicated co-leaders to work with, teach you the essential skills for effective grassroots organizing, and offer plenty of ongoing support as you work together to launch a Swing Left group.

I will personally be facilitating the training and I'd love to see some of you there! You can learn more about the program and submit your application by Sunday, March 3rd to participate.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Please consider attending this meeting. Useful information likely will be provided to help get out the vote, and we need every voter out there in the primaries and in the 11/5 General Election. This is Sun 1/28 5 pm est. Again, some of the strategies should be useful to get out the vote. Website to sign up is: https://mobilize.us/s/qsZS44

A.A. Sydcol is a waste company who was fined $30,000 by ADEQ in 2011 for hazardous waste violations in Yuma County. As of July 2023, A.A. Sydcol is seeking approval to expand a non-hazardous waste processing facility in Yuma, Arizona into storing, processing and transporting up to 228,260 gallons of hazardous waste, much of it from out of state, in Yuma. The proposed facility is near the Pacific Avenue Athletic Complex baseball field, the Yuma Palms Mall, Sam's Club and farmland along with water. It would harbor hazardous waste less than 400 feet away from residential areas at its closest point. This will put Yuma's people, land and animals at risk. Even if you're not from Yuma, please join and support us because Yuma grows 90% of green, leafy vegetables consumed in the United States and a hazardous waste incident in Yuma would affect the health and food supply for all Americans.

It all comes down to an upcoming final decision made by the Yuma County Board of Supervisors in August 2023. You can make a difference by spreading the word and contacting the YCBOS at publiccomment@yumacounty.gov or calling their office at (928) 373-1010.

Also, please contact your Arizona State Legislators, and the offices of the Governor, Attorney General and the EPA District 9 administrator. Encourage them to please do the right thing and stand with Yuma's people, land and animals by saying no to hazardous waste in the City of Yuma.

Indivisible has a tool called Neighbor to Neighbor. When you put in your address, you are provided the names and addresses of 5 people near you who vote Democrat. This program is available in the IL-14 Congressional District and in the following states: AK, AZ, CA, CO, GA, MI, NC, NH, NJ, NV, NY, OR, PA, TX, WA, and WI.

Although not a primary Progressive issue, a key to advancing Progressive policies is insuring we have a Democracy where these policies can be advanced. https://progressivehub.net/progressives-should-unite-against-the-fascistic-republican-party/ Please vote Blue and if you're in one of these states (AZ, CA, FL, GA, NC, NV, PA, TX, WI), use https://bluevoterguide.org/ to vote Blue down the ballot.

If you want to vote Blue down the ballot and you're in one of these battlegrounds (AZ, CA, FL, GA, NV, NC, PA, TX, WI), this website provides Democrat's endorsements down to county races to include judges, school boards and ballot proposals. PLEASE PASS this on to anyone you know who could use it. The battlegrounds will be down to the wire and everyone needs to be out there and voting!
