Take Action: Critical Week for Healthcare
The upcoming week is critical for the ACA.

Republicans are rushing to get this bill […]

Continue readingUrgent 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. Opponents to this process (including deceased Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia) argue there is no controlling a […]
Continue readingAction 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. The plan, if it becomes law: Allows older purchasers to be charged five times as much as younger ones Would devastate rural hospitals and jobs Gives tax breaks to insurance CEO’s making more than $500,000 Will likely […]
Continue readingAction 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.

Continue readingAction 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. It clearly violates the First Amendment. Contact our House of Representative members and Governor Ducey. Tell them this is a WASTE OF TAX DOLLARS because it […]
Continue readingAction Alert: "Empowerment" Not OK!
Our state legislature is proposing a $5,000 taxpayer funded check/debit card for parents to directly fund homeschool, online, private, or charter school. That means a significant amount of taxpayer money that normally goes to public schools will be gone. Not ok: – for students who depend on transportation, food, and might not have the best […]
Continue readingRecess Actions!
This is outrageous: Congress is in recess and our Senators, who are supposed to represent us, are refusing to hold any town halls with their constituents. At a time when the country is in turmoil, McCain and Flake refuse to face the people they purport to serve. Indivisible has put out a guide for people […]
