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.
Join Take Action Tucson for a gathering as we work to preserve our rights and save our democracy!

Organizer: Singing Resistance Tucson
Singing Resistance Tucson is meeting every Sunday from 4 – 5:30 pm at the Unitarian Church at 4831 E. 22nd St.
Come join us!
Singing Resistance, a musical grassroots collective launched in Minneapolis, gathers song leaders and singers to sing out in the face of fascism.
Why sing? For starters, singing immediately evokes an emotional response from the soul and just feels good in your body. When you sing in a group, it gives you the sense that your voice matters for the larger whole – and it does!
Singing Resistance is a mass movement of singers across the U.S.
It’s a proven (and fun) resistance strategy!
Peaceful resistance singing is just one strategy of many that should be employed in times of violent occupation, but it’s a crucial one that should not be overlooked.
We want your voice!

Good Trouble Action Group (GTAG) launched in Summer 2025 with two blockades of Jim Click Kia. We object to Click (the oligarch of Tucson) bankrolling Congressman Juan Ciscomani and co-chairing his finance committee. Since then, GTAG has offered nonviolence/direct action trainings to Tucson activists and facilitated the formation of affinity groups to resist Trump’s authoritarian takeover attempts, as well as neighborhood Migra Watch groups to respond to ICE’s attempted kidnappings.
