Global Climate Strike – Flagstaff – Join them 10:00 am @ Flagstaff City Hall
Sep 20 @ 10:00 am

Join us ! sunrise movement.org

On Friday, Sept. 20, people from 150 countries around the world will host a youth-centered global strike to bring awareness to climate change. Flagstaff is one of eight locations in Arizona officially scheduled to participate.

The nonviolent event was started by 16-year-old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, who sparked a worldwide school climate strike after she called for a “school strike for the climate” outside the Swedish parliament building last year.

Local supporters are expected to gather on the Flagstaff City Hall lawn 10 a.m. Friday to demand that action be taken to stop global climate change. The event will also feature speakers, music and dancing.

The Flagstaff Unified School District Governing Board passed a resolution during its Aug. 27 meeting to recognize students’ rights to participate, as well as to increase its efforts to reduce the district’s environmental impact.

The-Lavender-Scare-1

The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to partner with Unify Sedona: A Rainbow Alliance and PFLAG Sedona/Verde Valley to present the premiere of “The Lavender Scare” on Sunday, Sept. 22 at 7 p.m. at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

Come early for a pre-film reception hosted by Unify Sedona, and stay after the film for a Q&A and community conversation.

“The Lavender Scare” is narrated by Glenn Close and features the voices of an all-star ensemble cast, including David Hyde Pierce, Cynthia Nixon, Zachary Quinto and T.R. Knight.

With the United States gripped in the panic of the 1950s Cold War, President Dwight D. Eisenhower deemed homosexuals to be “security risks” and vowed to rid the federal government of all employees discovered to be gay or lesbian.

The-Lavender-Scare-3 The-Lavender-Scare-4

Over the next four decades, the longest witch-hunt in American history, tens of thousands of government workers would lose their jobs for no reason other than their sexual orientation.

But the mass firings have an unintended effect: they stirred outrage in the gay community, helped ignite the gay rights movement, and thrust an unlikely hero into the forefront of the LGBTQ rights movement.

Partly based on the award-winning book by historian David K. Johnson, “The Lavender Scare” illuminates a little-known chapter of American history, and serves as a timely reminder of the value of vigilance and social action when civil liberties are under attack.

The-Lavender-Scare-2

“I am grateful to the men and women who shared their personal stories on camera — not just the employees who lost their jobs, but the officials who carried out the government’s policies as well. Without their honest and thoughtful insights, this film could never have been made,” said director Josh Howard.

“A gripping, nimbly assembled documentary … vivid, disturbing and rousing.” — Los Angeles Times

“Fascinating and horrifying — and timely.” — The New York Times

“An essential and absorbing documentary.” — Variety

“A film that should be essential viewing.” — The Hollywood Reporter

The Biology of Political Differences

John Alford PhD, Author of Predisposed: Liberals, conservatives and the Biology of Political Differences.

Poco Diablo – luncheon

11:30-1pm

John Alford speaks on Biology and Politics at League Lunch, October 11, 2019
“Liberal or Conservative…Is it Genetic?” is the topic of a special luncheon hosted by the League of Women Voters Greater Verde Valley on Friday, October 11, Noon-2PM, at Poco Diablo Resort, 1752 Hwy 179, Sedona, announced Kathy Kinsella, President. The featured speaker is John Alford, Ph.D., author of the book, “Predisposed: Liberals, Conservatives, and the Biology of Political Differences.” The luncheon cost is $25 and is open to the public.

According to Kinsella, “The League of Women Voters seeks to promote dialog about issues among all members of our community regardless of political party affiliation. The more we can talk to and understand each other, the more we can find common ground and move forward together.”

According to Alford, “Liberals and conservatives consistently differ in everything from occupational preferences to leisure pursuits to sensitivity to disgust, as well as personality traits, moral foundations, personal values, culinary choices, and preferences for music, art, cars, humor, poetry, fiction, and neatness. So what does this have to do with politics? Bedrock political orientations–our knee-jerk gut reactions–naturally mesh with a broader set of orientations, tastes, and preferences because they are all part of the same biologically rooted inner self.”

John R. Alford is a Professor in the Department of Political Science at Rice University in Houston, Texas. His early published work was mostly in the area of elections and voting behavior with an emphasis on the US Congress, but his interests have always been eclectic, and he has published in areas as diverse as coal mine safety and pronatalist policies in Eastern Europe. Professor Alford’s current research focuses on the biology of political behavior, including neuroscience and genetics. This work has been supported by several grants from the National Science Foundation, and published in prominent journals including Science and the American Political Science Review, and has been featured in forums as diverse as The New York Times and Forbes, as well as Fresh Air and the Rush Limbaugh show.

Reservations are required. $25 includes lunch. RSVP before October 7 to Barbara Litrell, 649-0135 or [email protected].
