Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Saturday, May 3, 2025.
Tucson residents are taking action on issues that matter to them. Yesterday, about 1,000 protesters gathered at Southside Presbyterian Church and marched onto 22nd Street during rush hour traffic. The May Day rally, organized by multiple local organizations including Derechos Humanos and Veterans for Peace, focused on workers' rights and immigration issues.
In city planning news, the third draft of Plan Tucson 2025 is now available for public review after receiving unanimous approval from the Planning Commission. Residents will have a chance to voice their opinions at the upcoming Mayor and Council public hearing scheduled for May 20 at 5:30 p.m. at City Hall. This is the final opportunity for feedback before the plan potentially moves to the November ballot.
The city is also considering extending parking meter hours downtown, which could affect both businesses and visitors to the area. Meanwhile, local leaders are calling on our congressional delegation to restore green energy grants, and there's ongoing discussion about whether Tucson should buy out Tucson Electric Power.
Looking for something to do today? The 8th annual Arizona Palooza is happening at Gene C. Reid Park from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. This free, family-friendly event focuses on mental health awareness and features games, live music, and resources from across Tucson and Pima County. It's located at the southwest corner of E. 22nd Street and S. Country Club Road.
In community news, the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona has announced Youth On Their Own as the 2025 recipient of its Vital grant, supporting their work with vulnerable youth in our community.
For sports fans, TCU baseball fell to our hometown Arizona Wildcats 6-3 in last night's series opener at Hi Corbett Field. The 24th-ranked Wildcats rallied with five unanswered runs to take the win.
We should note that strong winds are expected to bring fire and dust concerns by tomorrow, so plan outdoor activities accordingly and stay alert for changing conditions.
In education news, a southeast side charter school has earned an A+ School of Excellence Award, highlighting the quality education options growing in that part of our community.
And finally, for those who've enjoyed shopping at the nonprofit resale shop benefiting firefighters, take note – they'll be closing their doors soon, so this may be your last chance to support their cause.
This has been Tucson Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
