Donor disclosure will make Arizona politics less civil
Forcing donors to plaster their names on campaigns for controversial issues, they will face unjust retribution and even violence. The public interest of protecting voters from incendiary political attack ads should not come before free expression. Even billionaires are entitled to one of America's most cherished rights.
This session brings a hopeful start on housing
Leadership across both parties seems supportive, and the coalition willing to take action is bipartisan and growing. If we keep up the pressure on our legislators over the next few months there’s a real chance of meaningful action on housing this year.
In Hobbs’ ESA proposal dollars don’t make sense
Student outcomes should be the North Star that guide policymakers and it is their voices (and the voices of their parents) that should be amplified over political saber-rattling.
Why mentoring matters for Arizona youth
If your new year’s resolution was to do something meaningful for another person, this is your opportunity. The kids in our community need more mentors. Both of our organizations have long waiting lists of youth who need a caring adult. They need you. The time is now. Become a mentor and help change a life.
Far too many Arizonans are not living at home
Our work aims to inspire everyday people to shout from the rooftops that every Arizonan should have a home that meets their needs. And needs are defined broadly. This isn’t just about budgets or politics. It’s about everyday people living in a safe, stable place and being close to the people and places that matter to them
LGBTQ+ PAC’s narrow agenda limits range of candidates
Just because you are gay doesn’t mean you have to vote a particular way. By making a commitment to endorse and raise funds for a more politically diverse group of candidates, the Victory Fund can truly help to increase the political representation of all LGBTQ+ Americans.
Access to affordable medications must be protected
Living with HIV can be a stressful and trying situation for any patient – but affording their life-saving medications shouldn’t be. I urge our representatives in Phoenix to help keep these medications affordable by rejecting policies that would raise costs for hardworking Arizonans.
Corporate Transparency Act takes aim at financial crime
To avoid significant criminal and civil penalties, reporting companies need to understand their reporting obligations under the CTA and determine how they will meet these obligations in a safe and secure manner.
Will the Fossil Fuel Lobby Fool the ACC?
Let’s hope the commissioners are wise enough to see this “study” for the phony drivel it is, ignore it, and act in the clear best interest of Arizonans. That means supporting utilities in their transition to cheaper, cleaner, and more reliable energy sources.
Faith leaders have special role in 2024 elections
I’d encourage all faith leaders to take a tour within their own county and learn the details of how our elections are protected and to spread the word to build trust in our systems.
Connecting struggling people to quality jobs is critical
When we invest in our unemployed and underemployed populations, we invest in individuals who can, in turn, contribute to our local economy. These individuals have the potential to become consumers, taxpayers, and contributors to the economic growth of Phoenix.
Let’s maintain Arizona’s educational equity momentum in ‘24
As we navigate the uncertainties of the coming year, let love, light, and understanding guide us. Our Dreamers and their families are relying on our continued support.
