BREAKING: On day after @kyrstensinema’s infamous speech defending the filibuster, 70+ Arizona Democratic women leaders release this open letter calling on @emilyslist—Sinema’s #1 contributor—to “immediately make a public demand to Senator Sinema to support ending the filibuster.”
Signers include former city councilmembers and current members of the Arizona Democratic Party executive committee.
The letter, organized through the Arizona Coalition to End the Filibuster, challenges one of the most influential Democratic organizations that still backs Sinema.

UPDATE: A huge win.
@emilyslist responds and says they “will be unable to endorse” @kyrstensinema if she won’t reverse course on reforming filibuster to pass voting rights legislation.
Thank you to the 70+ Arizona Democratic women who demanded this action & all who joined them.
Thank you for leading Emily’s List to respond clearly and take this stand @LaphonzaB. Thank you @EvaPutzova, @thebelensisa & all who led on the AZ women statement. And thank you @Amy_Siskind, @jljacobson, @JoyAnnReid, @MSignorile, and all the EL donors who amplified & spoke out.
