Dear Neighbors,

My name is Marjava Ramirez, and I have the honor of serving as President of the Barrio El Rio Neighborhood Association. On behalf of our committee, I would like to personally invite you to share your voice, ideas, and hopes for our neighborhood.

Our community is special because of the people who live here: our neighbors, families, and friends who make Barrio El Rio a place we can all take pride in. We want to know what matters most to you.

What would you like to see at our neighborhood meetings? What changes or improvements would make a difference for you and your family?
�Have you ever thought, “Someone should do something about this”? If so, we encourage you to get involved, because your voice truly matters. Together, we can build a stronger, safer, and more connected neighborhood for everyone.

We invite you to share your ideas, concerns, and suggestions by filling out our Google Form or by scanning the QR code on the attached flyer. Your feedback will help guide future meetings, projects, and community efforts.

Thank you for being an important part of Barrio El Rio. We look forward to hearing from you and working together to make our neighborhood even better.

🌳💚 Thank You, Barrio El Rio & Silvercroft! 💚🌳

Thank you to everyone who came out this morning to help plant trees in our neighborhood! It was beautiful to see neighbors, families, and partners working side by side to make our community greener and stronger.

Because of you, we’re growing our tree canopy, creating more shade, and investing in a cooler, healthier future for our barrios. This is what community looks like — showing up for one another and taking pride in where we live.

Special thank you to Tucson Clean & Beautiful and all of our partners for organizing and supporting this effort.

Together, we’re planting more than trees — we’re planting hope. 🌱💚
