Next Green Valley Rally


Saturday, December 6, 2025

9 - 10 am


Bring your signs and voices to protest the actions of this Administration. Signs will also be available for purchase at the SE corner.



Please remember: 

  • Do not engage with those attempting to disrupt or distract. Our goal is to always have peaceful protests. 
  • Be safe when crossing the street and watch for traffic which sometimes comes very close to the curb.
  • Stay off the medians.
  • Do NOT park in the Walgreen's lot--you may use the church's parking lot.
  • Sunscreen, hats, water are essential.

Bring non-perishable food items for the Sahuarita Food Bank!



There will be 4 volunteers with orange vests, one on each corner. If you see someone in distress ask one of the orange-vested volunteers to call for help.


We could also use some additional help on Saturdays – selling hats, shirts, signs, etc.

Meet us at Headquarters by 8:30am to load up our materials.

SATURDAY CISCOMANI PROTESTS

SAVE OUR VA


Veterans for Peace and Southern Arizona Community Activists are holding protests every Friday from 7-8:15am to show support to VA workers. S 6th Ave, Entrance.

One of the easiest things you can do to help candidates get elected is to sign their nominating petition. All candidates, incumbents and challengers, must get the support of registered voters by way of a nominating petition. Fortunately, for Arizonians, those signatures can be submitted online through the E-QUAL website.

 

You will need either your driver’s license or your voter registration number, and the last 4 digits of your social security number. 


Note that new candidate petitions are added from time to time. If you have already signed, please check back to see if there are new petitions available for you to sign.  Here is the link: https://apps.azsos.gov/equal/


For candidates running under Clean Elections, you may contribute $5 towards their campaign on the same website.


Petitions are also available at GVD Headquarters.

Baby and children’s clothing and shoes
