Oligarch #1 Protest Amazon
2025-03-07 - 2025-03-14
NO BUYING FROM AMAZON for 1 week.
Why We’re Boycotting Amazon (March 7th-14th):

They’re playing dirty: Amazon’s size lets them bully small businesses and stifle competition. We’re saying no to monopoly power!
Workers deserve better: Amazon workers face tough conditions, low pay, and union-busting tactics. We’re standing with the workers for fair treatment.
Planet over profit: Amazon’s massive carbon footprint is hurting our planet. We’re demanding sustainable practices and a commitment to the environment.
Pay your fair share: Amazon uses loopholes to dodge taxes, leaving the rest of us to foot the bill. We’re saying it’s time to pay up!
Enough is enough: Corporate greed is out of control. We’re joining together to send a message: Put people and the planet over profit.

Arizona Lobby Day | Reproductive Freedom for All
2025-03-05 09:00 - 13:30 | Reproductive Freedom for All, Phoenix
The 2025 legislative session is in full swing! State lawmakers are already introducing bills to undermine abortion access and gut the abortion ballot measure Prop 139, the constitutional amendment to protect abortion which voters overwhelmingly passed this past November election. There’s no doubt about it: the fight to protect reproductive freedom is far from over.
Let’s make sure our state elected officials hear directly from the people who elected them. I want to personally extend the invite to join me at the state capitol for Reproductive Freedom for All’s annual Arizona Lobby Day on Wednesday, March 5.
We’ll give you all the tools you need to speak with lawmakers about why you’re committed to reproductive freedom. If you’ve ever been curious about the legislative process or wanted to advocate for what you believe in—this is your chance!
Arizona Lobby Day

After you RSVP, a member of our team will reach out to make sure you feel prepared to join us at the state capitol. Now more than ever, we need to demonstrate the power of the reproductive freedom movement in Arizona. I hope to see you at our annual Lobby Day on March 5 to do just that.

National Peoples March | January 18th at Phoenix Capitol
2025-01-18 10:00 - 17:00 | Phoenix Senate Building | Full Address Provided Upon Registration, Phoenix, AZ, 85004, United States
We all march for different reasons, but we march for the same cause: to defend our rights and our future.

If you believe that decisions about your body should remain yours, that books belong in libraries, not on bonfires, that healthcare is a right, not a privilege for the wealthy; if you believe in the power of free speech and protest to sustain democracy; or if you want an economy that works for the people who power it—then this march is for you.

The People’s March is about one thing: our power.

It’s a bold demonstration of the resilience of resistance:

We march to unite the people who’ve been the backbone of resistance for generations—and to welcome even more
We march to remind civil servants they answer to us
We march to inspire, energize, and drive change long after the day is done.

This is our moment to remind Washington elites — and Americans everywhere — where the power truly lives: with the people.

Let’s make it count!

You will find us at the Capitol at the Arizona State Senate, 1700 W Washington St, Phoenix, AZ 85007
