Shine a light on secret meetings of ALEC
It’s time to shine a light on the secret meetings of corporate lobbyists and lawmakers. Better yet, we should make sure lawmaking takes place not in back rooms and private resorts but in the public square. As it stands, out-of-state corporate interests are getting their way because Arizonans don’t have a say.

Hypocrisy plagues Prop 211, sets up opponents for intimidation
Proponents of Prop 211 deceptively woo voters with a promise to expose “dark money,” without disclosing their own self-serving secrets hidden in the tortuous details of the measure. Proponents claim the act will “shine a desperately needed light on political spending, a light that has been missing in Arizona politics.”
Closing educational gap for kids in foster care
A quality, stable education helps counteract the trauma children experience when they are removed from their homes. Simple solutions can make school a haven where they experience safe relationships, gain confidence, and prepare for the future.
Abortion laws ignore reality of most lives
It will take all of us to restore sanity to reproductive health policy in Arizona. Thankfully, we know that most Arizonans possess common sense and compassion.
