    Calls for support of small businesses Sept. 1-30 with new action card, chances to win

    Local First ArizonaPhoenix AZ (August 27, 2020) – Local First Arizona’s annual statewide campaign, called Independents Week, or “Indie Week”,  is usually a week-long celebration of Arizona independent businesses featuring 20% off golden coupons, bar crawls and more. This year, LFA is asking consumers to double down on Arizona small businesses fighting to stay alive during a pandemic and experiencing slower than usual sales.

    “Small businesses need support from all Arizonans. Shop with purpose, shop for your community, it’s as easy as shifting your usual expenses to benefit a local business this September,” says Thomas Barr, Executive Director of Local First Arizona. “As Arizona works to recover from a national economic downturn, we can keep up to  four times more dollars in our state by shopping from locally-owned businesses and help build a stronger economy.”

    Indie Week XXL will feature a digital 5×5 Consumer Action Card (bingo style) for a total of 25-themed opportunities to support locally-owned businesses and win prizes all month long. Categories include shopping from a black-owned business, ordering carryout from a local restaurant, completing the census, and shopping at a farmers market.

    There will be 1 grand prize for a “blackout bingo” and countless smaller prizes for complete rows, columns, and diagonals. A form to submit completed bingo cards will be made available on Sept. 1. Participants are encouraged to keep digital receipts and screenshots of ways they supported small businesses through September. Winning submissions, drawn at random, will be contacted for proof of participation.

    Presenting partner, Hownd, is also driving foot traffic to small businesses safely through their app and helping shoppers find coupons to some of their favorite local businesses. Families across the state are encouraged to challenge each other to win prizes and support their favorite local businesses all of September.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
