2026 AZ NOW State Conference | Strength, Action, and Community

It’s In The Bag

This year’s State Conference brought together an incredible community of advocates, organizers, and changemakers for a day that left everyone energized and ready to act. Attendees were moved and inspired by keynotes from Teniqua Broughton of State of Black Arizona and Jamila Rahim of Reproductive Freedom for All, whose words brought urgency, clarity, and hope to the room. The World Café roundtable discussions sparked honest, meaningful conversation across issues and organizations, and the Women of Courage Panel reminded us all why this work matters. From the Karen Clark Award to the community action benefiting Pilgrim Rest Foundation, every moment of the day reflected the power of what we can accomplish when we come together. We left motivated, connected, and more committed than ever to the fight ahead.

IT'S TOO HOT IN AZ FOR ICE.

I considered what clothes to wear and to be sure they were in layers because while it is above average temperature here, the mornings are still chilly and jail can be chilly. Also I may need the sweatshirt for a pillow if I have to sleep in a cell overnight....

Letter from the Front

By: Dianne Post

“I’m sending an update from Minneapolis to ask you for your continued support and vigilance.” On the one hand, we are delighted to see Greg Bovino and his little coat leave in disgrace. We are gratified to see that the tide of public opinion and mainstream news media seems to be turning toward the truth. We are anxious to see what will come out of the federal courts attempting to reign in DHS’ tactics. We are proud of the...
