Thank you for coming to the park this morning. We had a great turn out. I know the Coopers really appreciate so many of you getting involved & willing to help stop the 'detention center'. For a quick recap...
GREAT NEWS!!!
Pima County Board of Supervisors commented on the EA (Environmental Assessment) report requesting an EIS (Environmental Impact Statement) which is:
An environmental impact statement (EIS) under United States environmental law, is a document required by the National Environmental Policy Act for federal government agency actions "significantly affecting the quality of the human environment."[1] A tool for decision making, an EIS describes the positive and negative environmental effects of proposed agency action - and cites alternative actions. Several US state governments have also adopted "little NEPA's," i.e., state laws imposing EIS requirements for particular state actions, such as an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
This means there will definitely be a delay in the construction - (we are working hard to make it permanent!)
If you would like a copy of the letter sent to the Coopers from Ramon Valadez please email me at sahuaritaunited@gmail.com
Our county supervisors have done an absolute wonderful job, stopping all they were doing, to put this report out by May 15th. Please take a quick moment and email them your appreciation for their response in our favor.

Thank you so much for your assistance this day and the days to come. Please tell your neighbors, get everyone involved. We are going to need all the warm bodies we can get for our first protest next Saturday 5/23.
thank you Tom Murphy for the yummy treats!
Have a wonderful weekend!
