Mobilize Tucson is a community-driven organization based in Tucson, Arizona, on the homelands of the Tohono O’odham Nation and the lands of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe.

We want to recognize and give respect to the Indigenous peoples who have lived and continue to live on this land. This land, originally inhabited thousands of years ago by the Hohokam people, is still home to the Pascua Yaqui Tribe, the Tohono O’odham Nation, and many other Indigenous communities today.

For land acknowledgment to truly matter, it must be tied to action—and that’s one of the reasons why we are uniting together. To honor Tucson’s true history, culture, and all communities means recognizing and respecting that everywhere we step, is Indigenous land.

We honor the rights and responsibilities of Indigenous Peoples to steward and protect their lands and cultural legacies. We actively support Tribal-led preservation efforts and seek to foster deeper inclusion, consultation, and collaboration with Indigenous communities in all aspects of conservation and advocacy. This is going to be an evolving, breathing statement and we welcome feedback and input to help shape it as we learn and grow.
