📣 Save the date! Be Seen is coming to Maryvale on November 5.

Communities deserve to see themselves, and their stories, in the places where they live. Created and curated by an interdisciplinary team at Altavoz Lab, Be Seen is a traveling outdoor exhibition featuring more than 15 years of photojournalist Nick Oza’s images, capturing migration, movements for change, moments of crisis and joy and the resilience of people across Arizona.

Join us to experience these stories in the heart of our everyday spaces and reflect on one question: How does it feel to be seen?

📍 Maryvale Community Center
📅 November 5, 2026
🕠 5:30–8:30 PM
🔗 RSVP now — link in bio!

Be Seen will be on display at Maryvale Community Center from November 5–10 before traveling to locations across Phoenix.

Thank you to our sponsor, MacArthur Foundation (macfound), and our partners at Conecta Arizona (@conectaarizona), Arizona Luminaria (@azluminaria), The Arizona Republic (@azcentral), the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism (@cronkite_asu) and the City of Phoenix Office of Arts (@phxartsculture), along with all the collaborators and community organizations helping bring Be Seen to life.

Over the past several weeks, my family and I have been subjected to personal attacks and false accusations. Now, my campaign has received explicit death threats, including antisemitic threats against me and my entire family.

This has gone too far.

I knew that running for public office would come with criticism and political disagreements. What I never imagined was having to worry about the safety of my daughters, my family, and the volunteers who believe in our campaign.

Words have consequences. When political attacks turn personal and hateful rhetoric goes unchecked, it can create an environment where threats and intimidation thrive.

We have reported these threats to law enforcement.

Let me be absolutely clear: Political disagreements are never an excuse for antisemitism, hatred, or threats of violence.

I am calling on political leaders from both parties to condemn this behavior and help bring an end to the hostility.

I have called this community home for 25 years. I know we are better than this, and I believe we have far more in common than what divides us.

I will not allow hatred and intimidation to define our community or silence my voice. But the safety of my family and our volunteers will always come first.

Sad, shocking news of Phoenix.
The Phoenix Symphony is suspending all remaining performances in the orchestra’s 2026-27 season following its Sunday, Nov. 1, performance of “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl in Concert.”
I spoke to the Symphony’s President and Chairman of the Board about this “extraordinarily difficult decision that will affect the lives of our musicians and staff as well as people across our community.”
There’s a link in my bio that will take you to those exclusive interviews in full at azcentral.
