Who
We Are
We
are an alliance of progressive individuals in southern Arizona working to
ensure a caring and inclusive country. We will act together to protect and strengthen
our values, human and civil rights.
The alliance4action (a4a) is a citizens activist group that
has become a powerful agent for creating and transmitting responses to current
and anticipated actions by our State and National governments.
Based in Green Valley, a4a was created by the leadership of
changeishappening! (cih!) and the
Democratic Club of the Santa Rita Area (DCSRA) in November 2016. About 40 people, including leaders of several
local organizations including faith based ones, attended the first meeting. By
the end of January 2017, over 500 individuals had subscribed to the a4a email
distribution list.
Recognizing that we will be more effective if we target our
efforts, we formed action groups on the following immediate issues:
·
Immigration
·
Climate
·
Heathcare (including ACA, Medicare/Medicaid)
·
Education
·
LGBTQ Rights
·
Election of Progressive Candidates
Economic Justice
Economic Justice
Other groups may be formed, as issues become priorities for
action.
We are members of Indivisibleguide.com and follow their
principles. From day one, we have lobbied our Members of Congress in person, by
phone and mail, published letters to the editor and columns in the local
newspaper, and organized a Jan. 21 Women’s Solidarity March in Green Valley
that attracted 500 people.
