Sierra Vista event celebrating our diversity

Freinds,

As you probably have heard the Former President will be in Cochise County on Thursday. It is beyond disappointing that there will be yet another Photo Op by yet another Republican, aided by those we have elected right here in Sierra Vista and Cochise County.
As reasonable people we know this game all too well. Candidates stand in front of the wall, shake their fists (in their finest Western wear) and declare that they alone can fix an issue that is decades in the making. It is disingenuous and fear mongering. The Former President himself pulled the Republican Congressional Puppet Strings and stopped a vote on a Bipartisan Border Bill that would have made a difference in our region. Republicans and Local Politicians waved off the Biden Administration's Executive Orders that have reduced the numbers of arrests tremendously. MAGA Republicans do not want a Border Solution. They want to be able to continue to trot out their candidates and shake their fists (at their own ineffectiveness) and have local politicians wring their hands on Fox News in order to convince voters in the interior that the inhumane and hateful policies of the previous administration were in anyway helpful.
We will not stand by while one more Republican candidate uses our home as their backdrop to spread fear and hate. Join community members from across the county this Thursday in Sierra Vista for a Forum celebrating our diversity and pushing back on this lopsided narrative.
Doors will open at 1 PM and the program will begin at 2 PM.
Bring your JOY for living in our beautiful county and your Signs telling the world we don't buy into the Republican fear!
