Building Your Resistance Toolbox

We did it! We’ve almost survived the first year of the Trumpocalypse.

The struggle has been real, but we’re making 2018 a year of resistance.

Project Nexus Tucson and the YWCA Southern Arizona are joining forces to bring you the tools you need to stand up, empower, and RESIST!

Join us for workshops, talks, and more!
