Arizona Capitol Museum celebrations mark the 100th Anniversary of 19th Amendment Statehood Day

PHOENIX – February 14 is Statehood Day in Arizona and marks the beginning of the Arizona Capitol Museum’s year-long celebration of the 19th Amendment Centennial. Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs will officially unveil a new museum exhibit, Women’s Suffrage Centennial, presented by the Arizona Questers, at 2 p.m.

The Arizona Capitol Museum Guild and 48 Arizona Women are sponsoring a related presentation. At 3 p.m., Dr. Mary Melcher will present “Frances Munds: An Exceptional Arizona Leader,” which highlights this famous suffragist’s life and role in Arizona politics.

“Statehood Day reminds us that Arizona women like Frances Munds led the way to gain the vote in 1912, eight years before the 19th Amendment was included in the U.S. Constitution,” Joan Clark, Arizona Capitol Museum Guild board member said.

The event is open to the public and media.

Felicia French & Coral Evan’s Valentine’s Day Event @ The Gopher Hole
Feb 14 @ 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm

Hi Friend,

As a supporter of our French for Arizona campaign, I wanted to share some exciting updates from January.

I was recently endorsed by Arizona List and AZNOW! Organizations in our state, working to elect women who share their commitment to advance women’s rights.

Marching in both Payson’s and Sedona’s 4th annual Women’s March reminded me that 2020 marks 100 years since the passage of the 19th Amendment. Despite many hard-won gains, women still don’t have guaranteed equal rights protection under our constitution. That’s one of the reasons I’m running for state Senate in Legislative District 6, to continue the fight for women’s equality.

On Valentine’s Day, I will be joining Mayor Coral Evans, the first African-American woman of color to hold that office in Flagstaff, for an Arizona List-hosted “I Love the Arizona Constitution” event. We will be celebrating the fact that Arizona gave women the right to vote in 1912, before the 19th Amendment.

Please join us Friday, February 14, at the Weatherford Hotel’s Gopher Hole Pub, for this special celebration.

While I’m proud to stand with organizations that prioritize equity, justice and fairness, my position is in stark contrast to our current state legislators. They’ve repeatedly sponsored and voted for discriminatory laws that hurt Arizonans.

Most recently, on the opening day of the Regular Session of the Legislature, the current state Senator of LD 6 introduced a bill that would increase the risk of teen pregnancy, sexual violence, and STDs, by blocking parent-approved access to age-appropriate education before the 7th grade. In the same bill, she proposed striking the term “homosexual” from all school sex education materials!

When the latest budget proposal is barely a drop in the long drought of Arizona’s education funding, and the state still hasn’t come close to restoring education funding to pre-2008 recession levels—It’s long past the time to create an accountable government that works for ALL of us.

Legislators, like my opponent, have not made a dent in our overcrowded, understaffed classrooms. On her watch as chair of the Senate Education Committee, Arizona has fallen to 46th for student funding and 49th for teacher pay. It’s no wonder AZ has the nation’s worst teacher turnover rate, and a quarter of our teaching positions are currently unfilled!

Our kids, educators, and school support staff deserve better!

Thank you again for your support, Toby. I hope you will continue to invest in the real solutions needed to move Arizona forward.

Make a Contribution
Gratefully,

P.S. If you live in Legislative District 6, and have not already signed my ballot petition, please add your name today.

Supervisors are elected from the five county districts to four-year terms, and provide oversight of the County Administrator and the various county departments.

The Supervisors have the final say over county departmental budgets, set the property-tax rate and calculate all other county tax rates. The board also gives final approval for all zoning and use permits in the county’s unincorporated areas.

John Lutes is running for the District One seat, covering from Prescott to the county’s western and southern borders and including Bagdad, Yarnell, Congress and parts of Wickenburg and Peoria.

Fridays For Future
We will no longer meet on the corner near the high school on Friday mornings. Instead, following the lead of Greta Thunberg and Fridays For Future International, we will take photos of ourselves holding our climate signs each Friday and post them across our social networks, using the hashtag #ClimateStrikeOnline. Here’s my pic from last Friday. Please post yours.

Thanks for your help, and please take good care of yourself.

Earth Day March – Cancelled
Apr 19 @ 1:00 pm

DIGITAL Earth Day!

At Earth Day Network, the health and safety of volunteers and participants in Earth Day events is our top concern. Amid the recent COVID-19 outbreak, we encourage people to rise up but to do so safely and responsibly—in many cases, that means using our voices to drive action online rather than in person.

With this in mind, Earth Day Network is postponing its live 50th anniversary Earth Day event. Instead, April 22 will mark the first Digital Earth Day, a global digital mobilization to address the most urgent threats to people and planet.

Digital Earth Day will use some of the world’s most innovative digital media platforms to mobilize millions in a collective call for climate action. The coordination will deliver an Earth Day unlike any other in history.

In the face of a challenge that unites us all, whether it be coronavirus or our global climate crisis, we cannot shut down. Instead, we must shift our energies and efforts to new ways to mobilize the world to action.

The first Earth Day was the biggest civic engagement demonstration the world had seen. The 50th anniversary of Earth Day will take mobilization to the next level. We’ll be in touch with ways you can participate in the coming days.

Together,

Kathleen Rogers
President, Earth Day Network
