The US Air Force has announced plans to escalate training over the most biodiverse region of the continental United States, where military air maneuvers especially harm conservation areas and Tribal Lands.
The Peaceful Sky Benefit is sharing awareness of these proposals 2/19 - 2/22, in solidarity for peaceful skies and equitable stewardship of the region, featuring local and touring musicians at different Tucson venues.
Event proceeds will support initiatives that have pledged to increase awareness of these proposals, including The Border Chronicle, a weekly newsletter that publishes original, on-the-ground reporting, analysis, and commentary from a border perspective.
Funds raised will provide sponsorship stipends to participating artists traveling from outside Tucson, offset overhead, or be added to event proceeds for donation. Southwest Native Nations artists have precedence in the allocation of sponsorships.
