NEXT PLANNED STEPS BY ORGANIZERS — Coalition-wide Mass Call on Tuesday night, national day of economic disruption on May 1, 2026

By MosaicNAZ.org

FLAGSTAFF — A crowd rivaling a previous anti-Trump administration rally packed into downtown Flagstaff on Saturday, March 28, 2026 for the NO KINGS III protest around the Flagstaff City Hall.

They were part of a national protest that topped 8 million this year.

That number exceeded the 7 million protesters nationwide for the No Kings II rally on Oct. 18, 2025, with Flagstaff’s protest on Saturday exceeding 4,000-plus protesters in October. The actual number of protests worldwide also grew on Saturday, with more than 3,300 events registered this year, up from the more than 2,700 last October.

Organized nationally by Indivisible and the 50501 Movement, planned locally by Indivisible Northern Arizona and supported by a variety of local groups, opponents of the Trump administration crowded the sidewalks from Wheeler Park and Humphreys Street (video) along Route 66 around the curve to Milton Road, filling the grassy area up to the Flagstaff City Hall sign.

been an incredibly busy time at the Arts Center—and we’ve all felt it!

We’ve officially wrapped Vision + Sound 2026, and it was a tremendous success. Through exhibits, performances, and programs across Sedona, Buckeye, Goodyear, Peoria, and Tolleson, we reached approximately 73,000 people.

We concluded Vision + Sound here in Sedona with our Symposium, held in partnership with the ASU Center for the Study of Race + Democracy, titled Facing the Future: The Arts and the Power of Community. This year’s Symposium may have been our best yet.

League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) — Dolores Huerta’s legacy stands on its own

by  •  • Comments Off on League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) — Dolores Huerta’s legacy stands on its own

The story of the farmworker movement did not begin with monuments, school names, or holidays. It began in the fields, in the dust, the heat, and the long days of exhausting labor endured by men and women whose work fed this country even as their humanity was too often ignored. It was built by Filipino and Mexican farmworkers in Delano who came together in common cause, by families who sacrificed paychecks and security, by organizers who turned a local strike into a national boycott, and by workers whose courage helped win contracts and lay the foundation for legal protections for collective bargaining and the right to organize.
