Text on Graphic Reads: "Indivisible Tohono proudly endorses Gabriella For Pima County Recorder. Gabriella represents everything we want for our communities.

We support Gabriella because we trust her, we love her and because it’s time. Vote in the Primary Election August 4th, 2020". Logo description provided by Indivisible Tohono: The Indivisible Tohono logo is framed by the outline of the state of Arizona. The Man in the Maze symbol, which is an important symbol to our tribe, the Tohono O'odham Nation, rests partially in Arizona and partially in Mexico, just like our traditional lands. Normally, men lead dancers like the ones on the edge of the Man in the Maze, but in our version, two women are both starting and ending the dance, to honor the four women who founded Indivisible Tohono. There is an olla spilling water down into the maze, to indicate Water is Life and the hummingbird, the smallest, but bravest animal is a reminder that even the smallest group, can make a big impact.
