President Trump has been spending a lot of time trying to convince Americans that everything is great. During his State of the Union address on Feb. 24, he bragged about the economy he’s built, saying prices are down and working folks have more cash in their pockets. He claimed that we’re safer as a country now than we were a year ago, and that he’s hard at work protecting democracy.

“You’re not going to silence any of our voices. You’re not going to tell us how to speak,” said Serafin, who also works for the immigration organizing group Living United for Change in Arizona. "We’re not going to allow them to stifle our voices or control it in any way.”

“We are in the most violent of times being carried out by this administration,” said Alejandra Gomez, the executive director of Living United for Change in Arizona. “This is violence now on the American people.”

“It does not matter if you are undocumented or a citizen, it does not matter if you are protesting or just living your life, all it takes is being in the wrong place at the wrong time,” said Alejandra Gomez with Living United for Change in Arizona, or LUCHA.

As the ongoing federal government shutdown continues, it is also putting a spotlight on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known by its acronym SNAP.

The Republican shutdown is bigger than petty Washington politics: it is about the real costs to Arizona families. Trump and Republicans campaigned on lowering prices for working families, but the opposite has happened. Inflation is up, and food prices have climbed 3.2% compared to last year. That’s less money in our pockets.

We were the first organization in this race to endorse, knock on doors, and invest in reaching voters at scale. LUCHA knocked on over 26,000 doors, supported partners in their televised ads, and spent more than a quarter million dollars to make sure voters heard directly from people they trust. In addition, LUCHA was able to assemble a progressive coalition of partners early to rally voter education efforts and collectively knock on nearly 100,000 doors.

At LUCHA, we believe it has to mean something. It has to be earned through action, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to the community. That’s why LUCHA is proud to stand firmly behind Adelita Grijalva in her campaign for Arizona’s 7th Congressional District.

We are teachers, janitors, healthcare workers, small business owners, and immigrants. We are the people Arizona’s economy is built on. And we’re done being robbed.

Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs once again vetoed Republican-backed immigration bills approved at the end of April, which would have obligated law enforcement and state public officials to comply with federal immigration orders. Senate Bill 1610 and House Bill 2099 were approved last week by the Republican-majority chambers and were shot down on Friday by the Democratic governor who has resisted fully giving in to President Donald Trump’s harsh anti-immigrant agenda, focusing her

A Republican effort to boost President Donald Trump’s mass deportation campaign in Arizona and force schools to open their doors to ICE agents was shut down by Gov. Katie Hobbs, who wielded her veto pen to reject the plan on Friday.  “Arizonans, not Washington, DC politicians, must decide what’s best for Arizona,” the Democrat wrote in her veto letter of the Arizona ICE Act. Senate Bill 1164, named the Arizona Immigration Cooperation and Enforcement Act, would have mandat

Danielle Lang, senior director of voting rights for Campaign Legal Center, which is representing many of the groups that sued, including Living United for Change in Arizona and the League of United Latin American Citizens, said that while DOJ’s withdrawal has no practical impact, it demonstrates the new administration’s “complete abandonment of even the most basic voting rights protections.”
