SATURDAY CISCOMANI PROTESTS

Sponsored by LD18 Democrats

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.
