Tucson Artist Protest invites you to join the third incarnation of Expression Against Repression, a grassroots exhibition at The Historic Y.
This show centers work that pushes back against repression in all its forms (systemic, cultural, internal, or imagined) and celebrates artists imagining alternatives. Free to enter and participate!
Even if your work isn’t usually “political,” we encourage you to respond to what’s weighing on you. It doesn’t have to be perfect, just honest.
Art plants the seeds for change. Join us this spring!
Join Take Action Tucson for a gathering as we work to preserve our rights and save our democracy!
Our meetup will start with a review of upcoming calls to action, the latest updates on Take Action Tucson's outreach efforts then an opportunity to connect with one another and build this pro-democracy community.

Organizer: Resistance Pocketbook Project

Join us for a practical, strategy-focused session on how ordinary people can make smarter donations to defend democracy, protect rights, and support resistance infrastructure in this unstable moment.
This event is to help you figure out how to donate according to your vision, not a pitch for any single organization. We won't ask you for any private financial information. Bring friends who are curious about donating strategically but aren’t already deep in activist networks.
Hosted by Resistance Pocketbook Project. Seating is limited, please RSVP.

Corner of Esperanza & La Cañada
Organizer: Sahuarita Dems & Independents, We the People R Indivisible
Organized by We the People R Indivisible, Sahuarita Democrats & Independents, & Rapid Response Network. The federal government is moving to dramatically expand ICE detention and the model they are pursuing should alarm every one of us. ICE is actively scouting, purchasing, and retrofitting warehouses nationwide, each designed to hold between 1,500 and 10,000 people. These are not detention facilities. They are buildings built to store products, now being repurposed to warehouse human beings. All immigration detention is inherently inhumane. But the warehouse model takes that inhumanity to a new scale. Jailing thousands of people in large-scale, makeshift facilities exponentially increases the likelihood of abuse and death in ICE custody. Beyond the human cost, these facilities divert critical local resources — water, electricity, infrastructure — away from the communities that need them, while cutting off tax revenue and foreclosing economic opportunities for years to come. Across the country, communities are pushing back and so are we. JOIN US Saturday | April 25 | 8:00am Esperanza Blvd/La Canada We will be joining rallies, vigils, and actions happening simultaneously in cities across the nation as part of a coordinated national campaign organized by Detention Watch Network, Disappeared in America, and their partners. Together we are demanding a halt to this expansion and the protection of immigrant rights everywhere. Bring a sign, bring a neighbor, and bring your voice. Every person who shows up makes our community's presence impossible to ignore. To learn more about the national campaign: Detention Watch Network: detentionwatchnetwork.org Disappeared in America: disappearedinamerica.org PLEASE REMEMBER: All of our protests are peaceful. Do not engage with agitators or anyone attempting to provoke conflict. If confronted, remain calm, step away, and prioritize everyone's safety. Please use caution when crossing the street and be alert to traffic, which may come close to the curb.
