All three candidates have agreed to spend the day in Sedona to get a chance to meet and talk with voters here!

Please bring as many friends, neighbors, and acquaintances as possible to take advantage of this opportunity! Obviously, this represents a substantial commitment on behalf of the candidates living and working in Holbrook and Pine. Let’s show our support and, more importantly, put ourselves in a position to answer the question: “Have you ever met these candidates? What are they like? What are their positions on Issue X?”

EARLY PRIMARY Ballots due – Mail by midnight today!!! @ mailbox
Aug 22 @ 12:00 am

Early primary ballots must be in the mail by today, Wednesday,  8/22.

“Why does this matter you may ask…I like all candidates and whatever you may say…Returns for the primary are a bell weather for the general and allow judgements on “enthusiasm” among voters. If enthusiasm among your parties voters seems low (i.e. voting is sluggish) or about how it’s always been, the national party has less incentive to invest finite resources in your state which means your party has less chance of winning.”-  Lori Marie

What Do women Bring to Public Office – Annual Scholarship Fundraiser @ NAU campus
Aug 23 @ 11:30 am

You are all invited to our Annual Scholarship Fund Raiser Aug. 23. The link for payment is at the end of the article.

The Flagstaff Branch of American Association of University Women is presenting two dynamic speakers for their annual scholarship fundraising luncheon, August 23 2018 at 1899 on the NAU campus. “What Do Women Bring to Public Office” is the theme of the program, featuring two dynamic speakers, State Senator Katie Hobbs, candidate for AZ Secretary of State and combat veteran Felicia French, candidate for AZ State Legislature LD6.

Both speakers bring varied experiences to their campaigns for state office, appealing to voters who are looking for a re-commitment by state government to improve education funding, voter protections and healthcare.

Katie Hobbs, is an NAU alumni with a MSW from ASU. She served in the AZ House in 2010 and the AZ Senate from 2012. Her work history includes over 20 years guiding homeless youth to a ‘road to self-sufficiency’, domestic violence and behavioral health. Votesmart gives her high points as a humanitarian and a “Liberal in a sea of conservatism”.

Felicia French, a third generation Arizonian, is a retired Army Colonel, combat medivac helicopter pilot, and registered nurse who have a Masters in Sustainable Solutions. Her campaign issues centers on education, student achievements, assessable vocational training and healthcare. Community involvement landed Felicia ‘Volunteer of the Year 2016 for the ‘Take Pride Pine-Strawberry’ effort in Pine, AZ.

The luncheon cost is $50 and RSVPs for the event should be made by August 16, 2018 at [email protected]. If you cannot attend this event but wish to contribute to the Scholarship Fund, the donation made by made at PayPal Donation AAUW.

NAZCCA – (Indivisible Cottonwood) @ Cottonwood Public Library
Sep 1 @ 12:30 pm – 1:45 pm

Dear Friend,

We have decided to cancel our monthly meetings at the Cottonwood Library (the monthly NAZCCA meeting will continue to be held at the Library on the 1st Saturday of each month from 12:30-1:45). Thanks to all who have attended in the past.

Moving forward we will be using this email list to share important information with you on actions you can take to help restore our Constitution and democracy to our nation.

The MOST important thing you can do right now is encourage all of your friends and family (regardless of where they live) to register to vote and vote in the upcoming primaries and general election in November. And make sure you are registered to vote and that you cast your ballot in these so very important elections. This is the best way that you can make your voice heard.

You can also continue to write, text, fax, email your Members of Congress and let them know how you feel about specific issues. One way of doing this is to text the word RESIST to the number 50409.

I will rise for Climate Change, Jobs, and Justice @ TBA
Sep 8 all-day

I will Rise for Climate, Jobs and Justice on September 8th and pledge to vote in November 2018!

Take the pledge:

peoplesclimatechange.org

We envision a world where our private and public leaders prioritize the protection of our planet; where solutions to remedy climate change are equitable, lift up those that are most impacted, and are rooted in racial and economic justice; and where facts win out over fiction and there is universal agreement about the impacts of climate change on the earth and all of its inhabitants.

We envision a world where a just transition to a clean and renewable energy economy creates millions of new, good jobs that can be unionized, provide family-sustaining wages, and foster professional and personal satisfaction; where returns on new energy investments go to those who have for decades been hardest hit and/or left behind; and where race, gender, income, and sexual identity don’t impact access to clean air and water.

We envision a world where job creation benefits everyone – especially displaced and workers of color; where people of all economic backgrounds can live in communities free from degradation; and where respect for the earth is mirrored in the respect we have for each other.
