SEDONA TO HAVE ANNIVERSARY
WOMEN’S MARCH ON JANUARY 20, 2018

Organizers of last year’s Sedona Women’s March have announced an anniversary March for January 20, 2018, starting at 10AM. Marchers will gather at Creative Gateways, 45 Birch Blvd. off SR89A (across from Whole Foods) in West Sedona and march to Vino di Sedona, 2575 SR89A, to rally there, on the back patio.

Following last year’s presidential election, 1500 people took part in Sedona’s Women’s March. Collectively, marches, rallies and events that took place around the country represented the largest protest in US history. Since then, there has been a surge of activism that has resulted in new organizations being formed and in a record number of women and progressive candidates running for political office at every level – and winning. In Virginia, women unseated a total of 11 Republican male incumbents in the House of Delegates. In Alabama, Doug Jones defeated Trump-backed Republican candidate Roy Moore.

Political and social activism has grown, notably the “Me Too” movement that has empowered women to speak out about sexual misconduct. As women increasingly recognize the power of their vote, attention is turning to the 2018 congressional mid-term elections, as well as to local and state elections. Every state office will be up for election in Arizona in 2018.

The march and rally will feature speakers from local organizations addressing a variety of issues and encouraging voter turnout. Voter registration information will be available. Box lunches can be pre-ordered by calling the restaurant. The march is open to everyone and signs will be available, although marchers are encouraged to bring their own, on issues that are important to them.

Corner Democracy – Dream Act and Chip
Jan 25 @ 4:00 pm

Corner Democracy is a weekly gathering. Bring a sign with your message of the week and join the progressive meet up to activate your passion for Democracy and sign up voters. See you on the corner of Coffee Pot and SR 89A. Honk your support if you’re driving by.

Why I am targeting the DREAM Act and Chip this week
DREAM ACT
I took this from the Prescott Indivisible group’s email:
“… we must make the Dream Act law so that dreamers are protected from the cruelty of being deported from the only country they have ever known. We have to get Democrats and our Senators to stall a budget bill until the Dream Act is included as legislation.”
LEGALIZE DREAMERS
CHIP
Arizona’s CHIP money will be spent by the end of Jan.
Great info on this at kff.org Kaiser Family Foundation, State Plans for CHIP as Federal Funds Run Out.
“After Arizona froze CHIP enrollment in December 2009, enrollment fell by more than 60% from about 46,900 to 17,600 as of July 2011 (Figure 2).13 Just over four in ten disenrolled children moved to Medicaid due to declines in family income, but many others likely became uninsured.14 The children’s uninsured rate in Arizona grew following the enrollment freeze.15 Over the same period, the waiting list for CHIP grew to over 100,000 children and was continuing to grow at a rate of about 10,000 children per month.”

Terry Goddard, Former Arizona Attorney General will be speaking at our Annual Meeting on January 28. He will be introducing his new initiative drive to Outlaw Dirty money in Arizona. This is a citizen driven initiative campaign to collect enough signatures get this on the November Ballot.

This Constitutional Amendment is intended to secure the right of the People of Arizona to know who is making major contributions to influence the result of Arizona elections, to prevent corruption and provide information Arizona voters need to make informed election decisions. To secure this right, this Constitutional Amendment requires public disclosure of all contributors who give more than $2,500 to influence elections in a two-year election cycle, regardless of legal form and whether their contributions passed through any intermediaries.

We will also be hearing from two of our LD6 Legislative candidates, Wade Carlisle for Senate and Bobby Tyler for House. We need to help them #TURNAZBLUE


The final speaker will be Jevin Hodge (below), Vice Chairman of the Arizona Democratic Party and a very inspiring speaker. Jevin acted as an advisor to President Obama and his administration as to how to best engage younger voters. He is noted as one of America’s leading young agents for change.

Joan Chittister-Her Story, My Story, Our Story @ St. Andrews Episcopal Church
Feb 11 @ 2:00 pm

Joan Chittister: Her Story, My Story, Our Story a play about the Benedictine nun – turned controversial spokesperson for international peace and social justice will be presented at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church on Sunday, February 11, at 2:00.

The play introduces the audience to two women: Sr. Joan and the playwright herself. Bays has long been fascinated, and influenced, by Chittister, whom she calls “a prophet for our time. By ‘prophet’ I don’t mean a predictor of the future. I mean someone who offers a countercultural voice and says the things that are not easily heard. Sr. Joan charges all of us to ask questions and challenge each other.” Throughout the performance Bays speaks in both women’s voices, moving back and forth across the simple set, literally shifting between the perspectives of Sr. Joan, the public advocate for humanity, and herself, an everyday modern woman searching for her professional and spiritual place in the world.

Chittister has been interviewed by Bill Moyers, Timothy Russert, and Oprah Winfrey among others. She is the author more than 50 best-selling books, a regular blogger for the Huffington Post, and has appeared on 60 Minutes and Meet the Press.
The author and performer is Teri Bays. Bays is a singer, writer, and actor who received her Bachelor’s degree from the Hartt School of Music in CT and has performed leading roles in summer stock, off-Broadway musicals, and NYC cabarets.

Tickets are $20 general admission, $10 for students in advance. They can be purchased at brownpapertickets.com, or at St. Andrew’s between 10am-12:30pm weekdays. At the door they will be $25 and $12.50. Questions, call St. Andrew’s 828-282-4457.
