Organized by ITAA. We've all seen the surge in resistance movement street protests over the past year. Our campaign draws on that energy with a laser focus on Congressman Ciscomani, the one Trump enabler we can, and must, defeat this year. The message is getting through to everyday voters who haven't thought much about their Congressman. Help us keep it going.
WE HAVE THE SIGNS. We just need people to come out and help us wave at motorists and hold signs.
What is MAGAShave: The format of our roadside sign messaging is rooted in the iconic ad campaign from the mid-20th-century company, Burma Shave. More info on what these protests look like can be seen here.
Details will be sent after you sign-up.

The U.S. Forest Service is trying to roll back one of the most important protections for our national forests while shutting the public out of the process.
In 2026, the Roadless Area Conservation Rule turns 25. Adopted in 2001, the Roadless Rule protects 58.5 million acres of national forest land, including 1.1 million acres in Arizona, from new road construction, large-scale logging, and mining. These “roadless areas” are some of the last intact wild forests we have. They protect clean drinking water, provide critical wildlife habitat, and offer unmatched opportunities to hunt, fish, hike, and camp.
When the Roadless Rule was first created, the Forest Service held more than 400 public hearings across the country and received millions of public comments. People showed up, spoke out, and demanded lasting protections for their forests.
Now the Forest Service wants to rescind the Roadless Area Conservation Rule, those protections, likely without holding a single public hearing.
That is unacceptable.
In response, groups across the country are organizing Community Hearings to make sure our voices are heard.
By attending, you will:

In these difficult times, it is more and more important to learn the tools of nonviolence. Research has shown that nonviolent resistance can stop authoritarian takeovers and save our democracy. Please choose one or more trainings to attend. They will be similar, but you are welcome to attend more than one.
Training includes: Principles and practice of nonviolence (Gandhi, King), action scenarios/role plays, consensus decision-making, legal consequences, and support roles.
