🌟 Arizona’s Political Legacy Project Spotlight 🌟

As not only the anniversary of Pastor’s passing comes up on the 28th, but the one year since the grand opening of the South Phoenix light-rail extension on the 7th, we’d like to honor him as this week’s leader.

From the copper mining town of Claypool to the halls of Congress, Ed Pastor dedicated his life to expanding opportunity, fighting for working families, and building a stronger Arizona. His legacy lives on through the communities, institutions, and landmarks that bear his name.

As we approach the one-year anniversary of the Pastor wrapping on the light rail, we’d like to thank for honoring him and his work in public transportation!

Although the wrapping will change, you can still see all the special namesake landmarks in honor of Ed pastor! Check out the map we’ve made with all the locations in our bio, or find it now under the “About Us” tab on our website!
