Please join us in welcoming our two newest members, the Living Desert Alliance and DarkSky Southern Arizona!

Living Desert Alliance

The Living Desert Alliance focuses on community support and involvement and aligns with the Coalition particularly on issues related to thoughtful growth. They broadcast the work of others and seek to protect the interests of and provides a voice for all Pima County communities, including marginalized citizens, desert plants and animals. Recently, the Living Desert Alliance has been helping Save the Scenic Santa Ritas (also a Coalition member) to garner opposition against Hudbay’s destructive Copper World mining project in the Santa Rita Mountains.

DarkSky Southern Arizona

The local chapter of DarkSky International focuses on the protection of our local communities, wildlife, and astronomical activities from the harmful effects of light pollution through outreach, advocacy, and conservation. Together, we continue to advocate for an improved Outdoor Lighting Code that will help to address light pollution in Pima County and the City of Tucson.
