DORR – Discussion – “Race, Activism, a&Crimminal Justice Reform in NO. AZ” @ Zoom
Aug 6 @ 6:30 pm

DEMOCRATS OF THE RED ROCKS HOST DISCUSSION:
“RACE, ACTIVISM AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM
IN NORTHERN ARIZONA”
LIVE, ON-LINE AUGUST 6, 6:30 PM

The Democrats of the Red Rocks will host an early evening discussion on race, activism, and criminal justice reform in Northern Arizona. Guest speakers are Lee Phillips, noted criminal defense attorney, Dave Rhodes, presumptive Sheriff of Yavapai County, and Madison Lisle, community activist in Prescott AZ. The conversation is scheduled for Thursday, August 6th at 6:30 pm live on zoom. The zoom link is available on the DORR website https://democratsoftheredrocks.org/index.html.
Demonstrations continue across the country against police brutality, police racism, and lack of police accountability. Protests have been growing in many cities, in response to the recent introduction of federal agents to urban areas. Balancing policing and community welfare has been problematic, and with the latest round of protests, relationships in many US cities have become further frayed. This is the background for DORR’s on-line conversation about race, activism, and criminal justice reform. Speakers will focus on the range of ways communities address and confront these challenges in Northern Arizona.
Lee Phillips, criminal defense attorney, has successfully challenged racially discriminatory I-40 stops by the Arizona Dept of Public Safety, and has led challenges to the Coconino County Jail practice of detaining undocumented persons for subsequent ICE arrest. Phillips will highlight the experiences of his client Neko Wilson, a Black man detained in the Navajo County Jail, without bail, for an alleged probation violation.

Dave Rhodes, presumptive incoming Yavapai County Sheriff, will discuss his championship of jail diversion initiatives, including both pre-arrest and post-arrest strategies, and the decriminalization of mental illness. Rhodes serves on several local and state law enforcement committees and is recognized as an innovator in decriminalizing mental illness.

The panel concludes with a call to action from Madison Lisle, an organizer in Prescott, Arizona, where she is pursuing a Masters in Social Justice and Community Organizing. Lisle currently organizes for immigration justice with the local group Keep Prescott Together. She will address justice, multiracial organizing, and working-class politics.

Spotlight on Donna Michaels:
Candidate for Yavapai County District 3 Supervisor.  Listen to Donna’s thoughts on traffic and transportation issues in Yavapai County.

DORR is an all-volunteer Democratic Club for Sedona, the Village of Oak Creek, the Verde Valley, and surrounding communities, that welcomes all independent-minded community members. To help our members keep informed about important issues during these challenging times, DORR holds monthly breakfast meetings by ZOOM.

Corporation Commission Candidates

Shea Stanfield

My responsibility, as an ACC Clean Elections candidate in 2020, is to represent the residents of Arizona, protecting you as ratepayers.

My role is to focus on the ACC’s Constitutional oversight responsibilities; this includes engaging in decisions for renewable energy solutions, attracting sustainable business, and supporting the development of a healthy and economically thriving environment, by fighting corruption.

Together, we must elect individuals who are committed to building a sustainable future for Arizona. Read More

Bill Mundell

Bill believes the Corporation Commission should serve the people, not corporate interests. He has been fighting for transparency at the commission, which cost him dearly when APS and other utilities spent millions to defeat him.

If elected to the commission in 2020, Bill will fight for ratepayers and put an end to the price-fixing and backroom deals that cost ratepayers millions.

Bill believes investing in solar and renewable energy is the right approach for the economy as well as the environment.

He will fight to bring back rooftop solar incentives that APS-backed commissioners repealed, and fight to make sure our state is carbon neutral by 2050. Read More

Anna Tovar
Whether serving as Mayor in her hometown of Tolleson, fighting for a better quality of life for underserved communities as a State Senator, or teaching our youth in the Tolleson Elementary School District, Anna Tovar has dedicated her life to improving Arizona communities.

She now wants to bring her integrity and experience to the Arizona Corporation Commission where she can fight for accountability and fairness for all Arizona consumers. Read More

POLARIZED: Can the Conscious Community Bridge our Divide?

A community once united by interconnectedness and love has arrived at a moment of great tension. In our conscious communities nationwide, we’re seeing friends and family fighting with and shaming one another over masks, vaccines and the election, leaving many of us feeling scared, uncertain, judged, demonized or disconnected from each other.

As an organization, ILLUMINATE’s mission is to elevate human consciousness and inspire lasting transformation through cinema, discussion and immersive experiences. We are not about taking sides; we are about expanding awareness toward inclusiveness and wholeness.

In that light, we invite you to join our expert panelists in a free event designed to explore how our minds become polarized in the pursuit of truth, and how we can find our way back to a community oriented toward tolerance, acceptance and love.

Film Club – DORR @ One Night in Miami
Feb 26 @ 5:00 pm

This Month’s Film:

Two of our DORR board members co-host a happy hour Zoom discussion each month on a select political film.  Just watch the film before the discussion, grab something to eat and drink, and be ready to discuss!  We’ll send you some questions to think about before the discussion. Contact [email protected]  for more information and ZOOM invite. 

We are celebrating the Golden Globes and Black History month by viewing One Night in Miami for our next DORR political film group.  Available free on Amazon Prime here.

Regina King’s directorial debut, One Night in Miami is a fictionalized account of before and after the Cassius Clay/Sonny Liston fight on February 25, 1964, when Clay’s upset victory earned him the World Heavyweight championship.  After the fight, Malcolm X (Kingsley Ben-Adir), Jim Brown (Aldis Hodge), Cassius Clay (Eli Goree) and Sam Cooke ( Leslie Odom Jr) gather at the Hampton House motel.  Based on a play by Kemp Powers, the film shows the private behind the public as the four icons discuss racism, freedom, and social justice.

The film received three Golden Globe nominations, one for its director, one for best actor in a supporting role for Leslie Odom Jr. who plays singer Sam Cooke, and for best original song recognition for “Speak Now.”  Regina King is the second black woman to receive a Golden Globe nomination in the best director category.
