🚨 Prop 144 "could spell the end of no-excuse voting by mail, by far the most popular way to vote" The same Republicans who've run #AZLeg for 60 years already voted to ban vote by mail. Hobbs vetoed — so now they're asking us instead. Don't be fooled! buff.ly/oPaEFkq

"HURTING OUR OPPORTUNITIES": If you like potholes, #Prop141 is for you! Thanks to our lack of funding, Arizona is struggling with highway and road maintenance. A yes vote ties the state's hands, keeping our infrastructure forever behind. #NoProp141 buff.ly/2mLGM0k

AZ's tax carve-outs have ballooned to over $30 billion a year, systematically starving our state & its cities & towns. #Prop316 doubles down, blowing holes in local budgets. The result: forcing slashed services & higher local taxes. Vote #NoProp316 buff.ly/hyG50zs

#Prop142's supporters aim to discredit experts on public health (vaccines), economics (immigration) & elections (democracy) with the far-right buzzword "DEI" (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) — writing racism into our state Constitution. Vote #NoProp142

#Prop318 is a one-size-fits-all mess that would exclude kindergarteners and varsity athletes alike from playing sports with their friends. As soccer superstar Megan Rapinoe explains, this distraction means real-world harm to ALL our kids. #NoProp318

90% of AZ voters want a secure border. 86% agree with a humane pathway to citizenship. Most of us know these aren't opposing values — they're both about fairness and the rule of law. We deserve leaders who'll do both, not politicians forcing a false choice. www.arizonafuture.org/the-arizona-...

Gov. Katie Hobbs notches another 88 vetoes (including 59 bills we opposed), bringing her yearly veto total to 151. We're so grateful to have her as a backstop to the flood of inane nonsense, citizen attacks and harmful garbage coming out of this far-right #AZLeg. buff.ly/5iOJC2G

😡 Republicans know that Arizonans are sick of the fraud, waste, & abuse in the ESA voucher & will overwhelmingly pass the Protect Education Act. Their solution? Pushing a devious ballot referral in the dead of the night that aims to VOID the will of AZ voters – using military families as pawns 😡

#AZHouse has loaded up today's floor calendars with veto bait. Neal Carter is at the dais whining about lawmakers' voting pace (2+ mins/bill). "At this rate we'll be here well into tomorrow." Maybe they should try not shoving through so much garbage so quickly??

🚨 An #AZLeg bill criminalizing our First Amendment right to protest is heading to Gov. Hobbs' desk; she's signaled she may sign it. Contact her office at 602-542-4331 or engage@az.gov & ask her to veto this harmful bill. buff.ly/uziAhyx

azmirror.comCritics: Arizona's 'religious interference' bill is a shield for anti-LGBTQ, anti-abortion protestsArizona religious interference bill could shield anti-LGBTQ and anti-abortion protests, critics warn

🚨 “The idea that someone could be subject to a felony because someone is protesting an abortion and they dare to say, ‘Leave me alone, stop harassing me,’ that truly is the definition of a bad bill” Contact your state senator & Gov. Katie Hobbs to ask them to OPPOSE #HB4117

“Protesting against any political thing does not become a religious service because somebody says a prayer in the middle of a protest,” the GOP sponosr said. “That’s not a religious service, that's a political protest.” story via @glorihuh.bsky.social

BAD BILL ALERT! AZSenate set to hear #HB4117, the "Don Lemon bill" banning "disturbing a religious service" (even on public streets). This broadly written bill hands street preachers a legal weapon to shut down Pride. Call your state senator TODAY to vote NO: buff.ly/0bUiLFH

BAD BILL ALERT: #AZLeg to hear #HB2133 today! This Project 2025-inspired "South Park" bill creates politically motivated censorship & demonizes LGBTQ+ people by conflating so-called “transgender ideology” with p0rn. Contact your #AZHouse reps TODAY & tell them to vote NO! buff.ly/NHRekeK
