Phoenix must reject feds’ public safety power grab
The city of Phoenix is obligated to provide safe, effective, fiscally responsible, and constitutionally accountable law enforcement services to its citizens. Subordinating public safety to the demands of federal bureaucracies won’t accomplish that.
Legislature should evaluate influence of PBMs
As healthcare professionals, our focus should be on dismantling unnecessary barriers between patients and their prescribed treatments. I implore the Arizona Legislature to critically evaluate the influence of PBMs, with the ultimate goal of prioritizing the well-being of patients over the profit-driven motives of intermediaries.
Psilocybin’s pivotal role to reshape mental health
We are poised to take decisive action — permitting the use of psilocybin under the careful guidance of a doctor in a safe and regulated manner. We are committed to providing Arizona citizens with the option to pursue a treatment that offers a genuine pathway to recovery, free from the shackles of a lifelong reliance on pills.
Personal stories, not politics on issue of abortion
In Arizona, amidst a critical juncture in the abortion debate, let's prioritize human faces, real experiences, and compelling narratives for compassionate policymaking. Only by appreciating the personal side can we safeguard women's rights and well-being, avoiding a future where women's rights become history.
Legislation seeks permanency for foster children
For the past two decades, hundreds of thousands of American kids have aged out of the foster care system. The Permanency Project proves that those outcomes are not inevitable. And the thoughtful restoration of parental rights can provide a chance for many more.
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.
