Mark Kelly

Astronaut Mark Kelly has announced that he’s running in the Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate from Arizona. Kelly, the husband of former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, logged more than 54 days in space across four missions and piloted the final flight of space shuttle Endeavour. Kelly and Giffords became nationally known following an assassination attempt that almost killed her in January 2011. She and 18 others were shot with six being left dead. In a video announcing his run, Kelly said the shooting made him realize that, when bad things happen, “you’ve got to move ahead and try to make a difference in the world.” He went on to say: “I care about people, I care about the state of Arizona, I care about this nation, and because of that, I’ve decided that I’m launching a campaign for the United States Senate.”

Please check our website for additional information on Mark’s visit.

Join us for breakfast and learn about the critical issues affecting our world.

#Lights4Liberty #DontLookAway #EndTrumpsDetentionCamps

***

We are a coalition of people, many of whom are mothers, dedicated to human rights, and the fundamental principle behind democracy that all human beings have a right to life, liberty and dignity. We are partnering with national, regional and local communities and organizations who believe that these fundamental rights are not negotiable and are willing to protect them.

On Friday July 12th, 2019, Lights for Liberty: A Vigil to End Human Detention Camps, will bring thousands of Americans to detention camps across the country, into the streets and into their own front yards, to protest the inhumane conditions faced by refugees.

Across this country, we have witnessed acts against people fleeing persecution many of us thought we would never see in modern times.

At Trump’s human detention camps, teen mothers and babies are held outdoors in “dog pounds.” We have witnessed the sick and elderly confined to “icebox” rooms for weeks at a time. Unbelievably, children as young as 4 months are taken from their parents, medicine is confiscated, and medical care withheld, and LGBTQ and disabled individuals are held in solitary confinement.

“The Trump administration’s immigration policies and detention camps meet the United Nations’ definition of genocide and crimes against humanity,” said Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin, lawyer, activist and organizer. “Congress is refusing to stop the president and his policies. We cannot allow these atrocities to be perpetrated in our name.”

Perhaps most terrifying, refugees are beginning to be moved onto military grounds, where there will be a complete lack of oversight from the media, lawyers, and human rights monitors. Many of us thought we would never see anything like this in modern times.

“Now is the time for every person to stand up and say, ‘We will not accept this!’ No more hesitating. No more denial. No more fear. We need to be bold, and loud, and unrelenting. That’s the only way we can stop this,” said Kristin Mink, activist and organizer.

Lights for Liberty seeks to create this event in solidarity and allyship with communities most impacted by the abuse of our immigration system. We seek to work in solidarity with grassroots organizations both new and historic, those who are well-funded and on shoe-string budget. We are moved to mobilize with anyone: moms, dads, and people of moral conscience who cannot stand to see families and communities destroyed.

Simply put, our country is at a tipping point.

EVENT DETAILS

On July 12th, Lights for Liberty will shine a light on the horrific abuses of the Trump administration in human detention camps.

People will begin arriving at 7pm local time at locations around the nation. At five main locations, legislators, activists, and organizers will speak until 9pm.

At 9 pm local time, at every detention camp (there are more than 200+ and at least one in every state), and in cities, towns, and homes around America, a silent sea of candles will light up the nation.

El Paso, Texas, where migrants are being housed in outdoor conditions under a bridge with no running water for months at a time, is the anticipated site of the main Lights for Liberty vigil. Legislators, activists, organizers, and members of impacted communities are expected to speak.

Other key events are planned in:

Homestead, FL, at a migrant child detention facility that has caused mass abuse and neglect;

San Diego, near the point of entry site from Tijuana;

New York City, at Foley Square, where hundreds of migrants are processed through detention a day;

and Washington, DC, in front of the Capitol building, to demand action from Congress to end human detention and impeach the President.

Details of exact vigil locations will be announced in the coming days.

We welcome all individuals and organizations who support an end to human detention camps to participate in a main or local event. Please email us at [email protected] if you or your organization is interested in sponsoring or supporting an event in your area.

These events are being funded entirely out of the pockets of our organizing team. We have no sponsors and will not be asking for any financial contribution for these events.

We will invite the public to directly contribute to organizations supporting migrant refugees on the donations page of our website.

This moment has the opportunity to be a turning point in our nation’s history, a moment in which we bring these camps out of the shadows, stop America’s rapid slide into unspeakable horror, and demand that our country stand up for the values it strives to uphold.

We invite you to stand beside us on the right side of history on July 12th.

For more information please visit our website: www.lightsforliberty.org

And in the interim, from now until the end of this administration and its horrific policies, we invite you to light a candle in our window to keep vigil for all those still held in Trump’s detention camps, and all those persecuted, marginalized and harmed by this administration.

 DORR Breakfast _ Join US!!!

MINING IN NORTHERN ARIZONA
DISCUSSION AT DORR BREAKFAST, July 18

Democrats of the Red Rocks will hold a discussion about mining in Northern Arizona at its breakfast on Thursday, July 18, 8AM at Olde Sedona Restaurant, located at 1405 W State Route 89A.

Mining in Arizona has received a growing amount of attention as controversial practices like fracking – technically hydraulic fracturing – and helium extraction have moved into the area.

Fracking is a deep well drilling process that extracts oil or natural gas via horizontal drilling that extends from the vertical bore and pumps fluid into the well at extremely high pressure powerful enough to fracture surrounding rock to create fissures and cracks through which the oil and gas are extracted.

Helium is a rare element removed from trapped gas deposits. It forms as a byproduct from the decay of heavier elements, such as uranium, and must go through an involved separation process before it can be refined and made commercially available.

DORR will discuss issues of land management, environmental concerns, and public safety related to modern mining. Guest speakers will be Joe Costion, Chair of the Coconino Community College Construction Technology Department and Bill Pierce, mining engineer and 2018 candidate for AZ State Mine Inspector.

Costion has been Dept. Chair at Coconino County Community College for over ten years and initiated its Sustainable Building Program and its Alternative Energy Program.

Pierce has been an advocate of work place safety in mines since 1985. He is an engineer with over 40 years of experience and is certified by the Mine Safety Heath Administration, OSHA certified, and has trained with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in workplace safety.

The speakers will appear as part of DORR’s critical issues breakfast series held on the third Thursday of the month. The organization presents different issues at each. All breakfasts are open to the public. There is a $15 fee to cover the cost of breakfast.

DORR is an all-volunteer Democratic Club for Sedona, the Village of Oak Creek, the Verde Valley, and surrounding communities that welcomes all independent-minded citizens. The DORR office at 105 Roadrunner Drive in West Sedona is open weekdays from 11AM-2PM. Information is available on how to register to vote and on candidates running for office. Walk-ins are welcome. For more information, please call 928-212-1357 or visit: http://democratsoftheredrocks.org

The City of Sedona has been working with other cities and towns to persuade the State Legislature to change the short term rental statute to allow more regulation of short term rentals. One of our State Representatives, Bob Thorpe, is planning to hold a community discussion on Short Term Rentals here in Sedona. Thorpe has scheduled the community discussion for Wednesday, July 24, 3:00 at the Council Chambers in City Hall. This is Thorpe’s meeting, not a City meeting, and at this time I have no idea of what Thorpe has in mind. For those of you who are concerned one way or another with Short Term Rentals, you might try and attend that meeting and make your feelings known.
