It may seem like nothing is going our way after the latest SCOTUS decisions, and all of the attacks on our democracy but that is why is so crucial to be an informed and knowledgeable voter. Voting while being informed is a tool we have and need to utilize! This impacts us in so many ways, especially on a local level. Being informed and voting on what helps your community will help us in this fight for affordable housing.

Legislative Updates

TAKE ACTION to stop bad bills:

CVS, Allstate, Farmers Insurance, and Enterprise have donated tens of thousands of dollars (via corporate PACs) to AZ GOP leaders who are behind the bills attacking our constitutional rights to vote and protest. Their donations are funding SB1485 (PEVL purge bill), HB2309 (anti-protestor bill) + others. We're asking these corporations to denounce the bills to help put a stop to them before they reach Doug Ducey's desk.
