In-State Tuition Policies for Undocumented Students Change Lives. I Should Know—Mine Changed for the Better The Texas Dream Act was signed into law in 2001, years before I ever walked across the stage at my high school graduation in 2014. I was five, maybe six at the time, probably watching Barney and playing with Barbies, completely unaware that a policy signed by then-Governor Rick Perry would one day allow me to attend college.

FLAGSTAFF — Protesters took their positions again in front of Flagstaff City Hall during the May Day Strong Protest on Thursday, May 1, 2025.

In Arizona alone, more than 26 other May Day demonstrations were planned, including an event a Jameson Memorial Park in Sedona.

Arizona Indivisible Groups Join May Day Strong Rallies Across the State and Country to Demand a Fairer Future for Working Families

By Indivisible Northern AZ — FLAGSTAFF — Indivisible groups across Arizona stood shoulder to shoulder with working families on May Day in a statewide show of strength as part of the May Day Strong mobilization. From Flagstaff to Phoenix and beyond, community members gathered to declare that it’s time to put people over profits and take back power from the billionaires and politicians who are dismantling our livelihoods. The Flagstaff protest drew over 1200 people. A bigger-than-life sized puppet paraded up and down the sidewalk and was a highlight of the day.  Protest signs reflected a wide variety of concerns, from the destruction of jobs, gutting of public resources, and higher cost of living— all for the benefit of billionaires.  Protesters were joined by NAU students who gave speeches about the importance of supporting workers’ rights, affordable education, and a stronger social safety net. Flagstaff was just one of over 800 cities across the country to join the mass mobilization that was attended by hundreds of thousands of protestors.

LULAC commemorates Cinco de Mayo by calling on all Americans to defend the Constitution and uphold civil rights

Nation's Oldest and Largest Latino Civil Rights Organization Honors the Lessons of History and Urges the Nation to Stand Against Injustice in All Its Forms *** Washington, D.C. – On this Cinco de Mayo, the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) commemorates the historic victory of the outnumbered and outgunned Mexican forces who, against all odds, defeated the French army at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. Their triumph was not merely military. It stood for national dignity, justice, and self-determination despite overwhelming power. Today, LULAC calls upon every American to reflect on that legacy and its enduring meaning for our nation at this pivotal moment.
