    logo_keepingsedonatogetherSedona AZ (April 22, 2017) – Keeping Sedona Together, a new citizen group dedicated to understanding and supporting immigrant rights, has invited Margo Cowan, human rights activist and immigration lawyer from Tucson, to come back to Sedona as a follow up to her presentation on immigrant rights in March. 

    Ms Cowan will be in Sedona on Friday, May 5 hosting a forum  in Spanish and English for immigrants to know their rights. She will discuss the current situation in Arizona and recent actions affecting immigrants, what to do if U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) comes to your home or business, and how individuals and businesses can stand in support of immigrants. The forum is free and open to the public. It will take place 6:30PM-9:00PM at the Sedona Community Center, 2615 Melody Lane, Sedona. No reservations are required.

To register, contact Babbie Cameron at babbie.cameron@gmail.com or Diana Williamson at dianasedona@msn.com.  

    In addition to her work as an attorney for Pima County, Cowan is co-founder of Keeping Tucson Together through which she does extensive pro-bono work, mainly in the areas of border and immigration policy development and representation of undocumented persons and refugees. Keeping Sedona Together is modeled after Cowan’s organization, Keeping Tucson Together, and the recently formed Keeping Flagstaff Together, community initiatives to take action to inform and protect our community members and to work to keep our community members from being deported.

      Everyone should know and understand their rights, and the law. That is what the country is built on. You do not get to pick and choose what laws you want to enforce and what laws you want to ignore. Obliviously the last 8 years set a precedent for this behavior. You want to break down this country and our society, just keep on ignoring laws you do not like. We are a constitutional republic, don’t like the laws, change them, but you do not get to pick and choose.

      Anarchy is the condition of a society, entity, group of people, or a single person that rejects enduring, permanent or unnecessary hierarchy. A state of disorder due to absence or nonrecognition of authority.

      I would not recommend Anarchy.


    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
