Indivisible Oak Cliff (IOC) will be taking part in the March for Science on Saturday, April 22.  Various groups will meet at 9am and hold a rally for about an hour.  The March itself begins at 10am. Various groups will meet at the Dallas City Hall, 1500 Marilla, Dallas and march to Fair Park where Earth Day events are taking place.  

IOC will have a table at the pre-march rally and invites participants to stop by and make a sign for the march and will provide supplies.  Donations of sign-making materials (markers, poster board, etc.) will be gratefully accepted. IOC will also offer voter registration and information about this organization. IOC believes these types of events demonstrate their concern about today issues and there impact on tomorrow while providing fellowship and fun. https://www.facebook.com/groups/762747637214670

The March for Science is the first step of a global movement to defend the vital role science plays in our health, safety, economies, and governments, according to the organizers.  The March for Science champions robustly funded and publicly communicated science as a pillar of human freedom and prosperity. https://www.marchforscience.com https://www.facebook.com/marchforscience 

These marches, planned globally, will see a diverse, nonpartisan group to call for science that upholds the common good and for political leaders and policy makers to enact evidence based policies in the public interest, the organizers state.  

IOC is a nonpartisan group, based in Oak Cliff, Texas, dedicated to pressuring our elected representatives to oppose or influence actions and policies that are counter to our core beliefs: inclusiveness, the freedoms codified in the Constitution, respect for human rights and dignity, and the peace and well-being of future generations.

IOC is taking a stand against policies that endanger the basic rights and physical safety of Americans and threaten the fabric of our democracy. We are committed to defending our rights, our neighbors, and our democratic process by speaking out at the national, state, and local levels. We will raise our voices respectfully, yet resolutely, so elected officials hear our concerns as they take action of far-reaching consequence.

Present a Proclamation to Katy Hubener in honor of Ann Hubener

In honor of Duncanville's long time activist Ann Hubener, the Southwest Dallas County Democrats set up the Ann Hubener Community Champion Scholarship to a graduate of Duncanville High School. Brandon Kimball will be the first to receive this scholarship.  In addition to his high school classes, he is taking classes at Moutainview and is active in his Church.  

In May, Ann’s daughter Katy Hubener was presented with a proclamation from the Dallas County Democrats for her work and passion on a variety of issues including clean air, gun control, and good government.  

Ann Hubener

Born in Ada, Okla. and raised in Seminol, she moved Texas to attend the University of Dallas.  In 1968, she married Gerald Alan “Jerry” Hubener who died in 2001. In the In 1970, the Hubeners moved to Duncanville where Ann became an activist. She organized mothers and their children to persuade Bishop Thomas Tschoepe to create a church for Duncanville and, in 1974, Holy Spirit was created.  Ann returned to college in the late 80's, attending with daughter Katy and son James. In 1991, she received a bachelor’s degree in political science from the University of Texas at Arlington.

She was active with Downwinders at Risk, a citizens’ group committed clean air and prohibiting the burning of hazardous waste in the cement kilns of Midlothian.  She was a leader in the Southwest Parkway Alternate Route Coalition, which opposed a road through Duncanville. 

Ann exemplified the adage: “Is this a private fight or can anybody join in,” said her daughter, Dallas County Justice of the Peace Katy Hubener.

Ann was a realtor for more than 30 years and registered real estate tax arbitrator and owned her own real estate business.  She served on the Dallas County School Board, the MetroTex Board of Realtors and the Best Southwest Chamber of Commerce.  She was also a partner of the The Suburban Newspaper in Duncanville.
