EARTH DAY!!!
On April 22nd,
We mobilize—
DIGITALLY
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

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.
