Southern Arizona, United States of America
Southern Arizona, United States of America 2 – ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS Assessment and recommendations Southern Arizona region: from a resource-based economy to a knowledge-based economy Southern Arizona is the southern-most part of the state of Arizona in the United States. bordering the Mexican state of Sonora, with a multi-cultural heritage and a major gateway for trade with Mexico. The vast desert region consists of Pima County, Cochise County and Santa Cruz County, and has a population of approximately 1.2 million, accounting for 18% of the state population. The engine of the region’s development is the Tucson metropolitan area, the second largest metropolitan area in the state, just behind the Phoenix metropolitan area. About 23% of the land in Southern Arizona is owned by Native Americans, Tohono O’odham and Pascua Yaqui Nations, who continue to feature low education, labour market and health outcomes. Population growth is a major strength in the region, an opportunity for many industry sectors, but at the same time it poses cultural, economic and political challenges. Since World War II, Arizona has had one of the fastest growing populations in the United States. Between 1990 and 2000, Arizona experienced a 40.0% population increase which slowed down to 26.7% between 2000 and 2008. In Southern Arizona, the corresponding figures were 26.0% and 18.4%. Arizona has the fastest growing Hispanic population in the US, comprising about 25% of the state population and 27% of that of Southern Arizona. In Tucson, 40% of the residents identify themselves as Hispanic, while in Santa Cruz the majority of population are Hispanic. -

Ginger: Equal Rights Law ENFORCING THE HIDDEN U.S. EQUAL RIGHTS LAW Ann Fagan Ginger* INTRODUCTION Since 1945 the law of the United States has required the United States government to take action to promote universal observance of human rights for all without distinction as to sex. 1 This equal rights for women law is part of the supreme law of the land, to be faithfully executed by the President and the Ad ministration, to be enforced by the federal courts and by the courts of the several states, to be implemented by Congress, and to be obeyed by industry, reported by the media, and relied on and obeyed by the people in their daily lives. 2 Busy practitioners representing women whose equal rights have been denied will save time and increase their effectiveness by making use of this hidden law. -

The AFRICAN AMERICAN EXPERIENCE in TEMPE
The AFRICAN AMERICAN EXPERIENCE in TEMPE The AFRICAN AMERICAN EXPERIENCE in TEMPE by Jared Smith A publication of the Tempe History Museum and its African American Advisory Committee Published with a grant from the Arizona Humanities Council Photos courtesy of the Tempe History Museum, unless otherwise noted Cover artwork by Aaron Forney Acknowledgements Like the old saying, “it takes a village to raise a child,” so it went with this booklet to document the African American history of Tempe, Arizona. At the center of this project is the Tempe History Museum’s African American Advisory Group, formed in 2008. The late Edward Smith founded the Advisory Group that year and served as Chair until February 2010. Members of the Advisory Group worked with the staff of the Tempe History Museum to apply for a grant from the Arizona Humanities Council that would pay for the printing costs of the booklet. Advisory Group members Mary Bishop, Dr. Betty Greathouse, Maurice Ward, Earl Oats, Dr. Frederick Warren, and Museum Administrator Dr. Amy Douglass all served on the Review Committee and provided suggestions, feedback, and encouragement for the booklet. Volunteers, interns, staff, and other interested parties provided a large amount of research, editing, formatting, and other help. Dr. Robert Stahl, Chris Mathis, Shelly Dudley, John Tenney, Sally Cole, Michelle Reid, Sonji Muhammad, Sandra Apsey, Nathan Hallam, Joe Nucci, Bryant Monteihl, Cynthia Yanez, Jennifer Sweeney, Bettina Rosenberg, Robert Spindler, Christine Marin, Zack Tomory, Patricia A. Bonn, Andrea Erickson, Erika Holbein, Joshua Roffler, Dan Miller, Aaron Adams, Aaron Monson, Dr. James Burns, and Susan Jensen all made significant contributions to the booklet. -

Honoring Soffiyah Elijah • Albert Woodfox • Michael Deutsch • Audrey Bomse Javier Maldonado • Noelle Hanrahan • Emily Bock • With Keynote Speaker Elle Hearns Co-Sponsored by NYU School of Law Public Interest Law Center* | National Lawyers Guild Foundation *Current NYU Law students and 2016 graduates will receive complimentary convention registration New York City & the Origins of the Guild The New York City Chapter is thrilled to welcome you to the 2016 NLG Convention. It has been a long while since the convention was last held in NYC. Through the generous co-sponsorship of the Public Interest Law Center at NYU School of Law, including Dean Trevor Morrison, Assistant Dean for Public Service Lisa Hoyes and Prof. Helen Hershkoff, our conference this year has access to wonderful Greenwich Village classroom meeting facilities and dormitory housing. Our sincere thanks to NYU for partnering with us. 2016 is turning out to be a turning point year for law in our country. Thus, we feel especially privileged to engage allies from social justice organizations in New York and the East Coast in discussions about the future of crucial progressive issues. The Supreme Court is in the balance for the next generation; public figures project a vision which is less fair, less tolerant, and downright racist. Shocking as these times are, this is when the NLG needs to be at its best to defend peoples’ rights. Hard times have often brought out the best in the NLG. From the Guild’s early beginnings, when it was formed as a racially and ethnically integrated alternative to the segregated American Bar Association, NLG-NYC members have played an integral role. -
