Why Dee Cohen Marches On

Civil Rights, Women’s Rights, Human Rights.
Every day I wake up and wonder, What’s next? Whose rights will be taken away? What terrible affront will be made on our environment? What evil assault will be thought of as acceptable? The last two years have been a roller coaster ride of madness.

 That’s why I march. I have no choice. Our children depend on it, our grandchildren are inheriting a polluted planet that may be on its last gasp. How long do we wait for the government to do the right thing? We can’t wait any more. They have proven that, to them, profits are more important than people, that money means more than life itself.

 Keep Marching. Keep Resisting. This is what democracy looks like.

I march because I have always marched. Even as a young teenager, I saw inequality and senseless war. I march to fight injustice. Even more so, under the watch of this crooked administration I see injustice INCREASING. I see our public lands being sold to the highest bidder. I see environmental racism, institutional racism and systemic racism. People of Color are not safe in our country. I see immigrants demonized. I see oil pipelines taking precedence over clean water and treaty rights. I see women shouting #ME TOO from the rooftops. I see our free press imperiled. I see our children’s health neglected and threatened to save a few corporate tax dollars. I see a pretty good attempt at insuring our people being dismantled due to greed and revenge. I see people LITERALLY DYING because they are poor and cannot afford health care. In marching together we create solidarity, we foster community and we become strong. Women in this country have been fighting for centuries. We know how and wi

Prescott's Jan Manolis Will Invest in Ed When Elected This Fall

The Arizona Supreme Court's recent ruling to strike the Invest in Ed proposition from the ballots at the behest of corporate interests is a dire setback to Arizona's teachers, students, and families. This decision is an unforgivable breach of the people's will that we must answer. With removal of the widely-supported, non-partisan Invest in Ed measure just prior to this election, the Republican-led state government sent a clear message. Radical career politicians who don't represent us have hijacked our state and are keeping a stranglehold on our state's future by choking funding for public education. Along with so many other Arizonans who support public education as a cornerstone of civic good, I was shocked—though unfortunately not surprised—to hear of the loss of Invest in Ed, a measure borne of the wave of grassroots people power during the #RedForEd movement this year. I support Invest in Ed wholeheartedly: the measure would have increased revenue for our
