Action Alert: Oppose Empowerment Scheme

There continue to be persistent rumors that the Legislature will use a procedure called a “strike all amendment” to revive the Empowerment Scholarship bills we thought were dead for this session.

Take Action: Gorsuch is Supremely Extreme

On Monday, March 20, Judge Neil Gorsuch will have his first hearing in the Senate Judiciary Committee as nominee to the United State Supreme Court.

We’ve partnered […]

Take Action: Critical Week for Healthcare

The upcoming week is critical for the ACA.

Republicans are rushing to get this bill […]

Urgent Action Alert: Say No to Article V Convention

There is a nationwide right-wing movement, encouraged and funded by the Koch Brothers, to convene an unprecedented Article V convention, a so-called “Convention of the States.” Such a convention would open the door to completely rewriting our Constitution.

Action Alert – Demand Answers of Trumpcare Supporters

Today, Speaker Paul Ryan and other far-right Republicans proudly unveiled Trumpcare, which apparently means no care for millions.

Action Alert – Sen. Judiciary Hearing on Judge Gorsuch

The Senate’s leadership is going to try to push Gorsuch’s hearing through with as little drama as possible, but Arizona Senator Jeff Flake is more likely to stand up and ask the tough questions—if he knows his voters want him to. If you run into resistance when speaking with Senator Flake’s staff, remind them that […]

Action Alert – Riot Bill Unconstitutional

SB 1142 has cleared the Arizona Senate and been sent to the House. This bill would make anyone involved with a peaceful demonstration subject to prosecution under anti-racketeering laws.
