    Northern Arizona Climate Change AllianceSedona AZ (January 19, 2021) – This year’s Women’s March won’t be traditional and you won’t see us on the streets as previous years, but instead, the event will take place virtually. Despite not being able to physically march together this year, Northern Arizona Climate Change Alliance organizers hope the same message of empowerment and solidarity will come through.

    Dr. Frances Julia Riemer, educational anthropologist and former Director of Women’s and Gender Studies Program at Northern Arizona University, will be the keynote speaker of the Zoom event. The event will also feature highlighting the contributions of brave women, sharing stories, and an opportunity to empower one another and shape our dreams for a better future for the next generations.

    20210119_VirtualWomensMarchIt’s no secret that the issues that women continue to struggle with are still there. This year’s interconnected economic, social, and environmental crises have especially impacted women and marginalized communities by deepening inequality and injustice. Despite these challenges, emphasizing the power of coming together to transform our knowledge and abilities into solutions is more important than ever.

    The virtual event, sponsored by 5 organizations in Northern Arizona, will provide a chance to demonstrate solidarity and for women and supporters of women’s rights to connect and highlight the struggles, wins, and future challenges in the fight for equality of women and girls.

    The event is scheduled to begin at 4pm on Friday, January 22nd. Everyone is welcome. Participation is free but requires registration at: www.nazcca.org or email jenna.nazcca@gmail.com

    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.
