We are now live with @heyjoewatson of AFSC Arizona discussing criminal justice reform and how #COVID19 is impacting prisons in Arizona.

Join us here: facebook.com/Gunnigle2020/v…
If you're following along on the livestream, the @AZCorrections #COVID19 Dashboard is here: corrections.az.gov/adcrr-covid-19…
Notable stat, no one has been tested for #COVID19 in the Perryville prison.
"I have been really inspired by people in the community who are making sure their voices are heard on social media, writing letters to the governor, and reaching out to reporters to tell them what's going on." -- @heyjoewatson

Coconino, Graham, and Gila counties have taken measures to reduce their jail populations to prevent the spread of #COVID19 but the Maricopa County Attorney has ignored implementing reform and the families asking for relief.
Sentencing reform and retroactive sentencing reform are problems we need to immediately resolve in Arizona.

Our state is one of a few in the US that requires every person sentenced to serve 85% of their sentence regardless of circumstances.
60 State Representatives voted for HB 2808, supporting sentencing reform in Arizona but it was blocked in the Senate until the Arizona State Legislature adjourned due to the pandemic.

Our campaign's plan involves bringing together coalitions to release low-risk offenders during the pandemic for their safety and the health of our community.

Your county attorney should be focused on reforming and using their bully pulpit to enact real #CJreform.
With the legislature out of session, there is currently a 2020 ballot initiative to create real sentencing reform.

It focuses on treatment, public safety, and utilizing positive feedback including sentencing credits. You can find more information here: betterwayaz.com
"Mandatory minimums make people lose hope and ultimately harm communities." -- @heyjoewatson
Our campaign would like to thank you all for tuning in tonight! Special thanks to @heyjoewatson for being an excellent cohost and sharing his wealth of knowledge on #CJreform.

Get informed, get involved, and let's make sentencing reform a priority in this next election.

And so it begins. This may be the most important hearing for abortion rights in Arizona's history.

Tune in here: publichearings.sc.pima.gov (room 475)
The first issues are largely procedural. Because of the age of this case (first filed in 1971), many of the original parties are deceased (passed beyond the jurisdiction of the court) and many of the doctors are no longer in practice.
Okay--here come the important arguments.

The AG is trying to argue that because the Supreme Court overruled Roe, the very old Arizona abortion law comes back in force.

Tuned in now.

The Court has asked what abortion laws are in force in Arizona in the moment. The answer is beyond confusing.
In SB1457, the legislature created an “interpretive rule” that a “person” includes a fertilized egg at any stage of gestation.

This sets up scenario where child neglect and homicide statutes apply to patients and doctors who access abortion.
The plaintiffs are arguing that this provision is vague—in part because it invites arbitrary enforcement and in part because it’s unclear how this interacts with other laws.

Even with today's news, abortion rights are still on the ballot for 4.5 million Arizonans in Maricopa County.

Are you going to sit on the sidelines and let @Rachel1Mitchell control your reproductive rights or are you going to get involved?

The County Attorney or District Attorney election just became the most important race on your ballot in 2022.
Here's why 🧵
The Supreme Court has voted to overturn Roe v. Wade in the face of decades of legal precedent and roll back the rights of millions in America.
Arizona is one of 23 states that will now use the criminal law and Supreme Court decision to ban abortion.

As a result of this decision, doctors’ offices will be treated as crime scenes, and reproductive decisions will be invasively monitored by prosecutors and police.

The Arizona District Court is hearing oral arguments on SB1457 RIGHT NOW. Follow @ncjwarizona and this thread to hear how it's going.
Kicking off and it's a hot bench (that means that the judge has a lot of questions).

Of note at the outset, the judge has adopted the language of the Plaintiffs that this is a "Reason Ban" and not a "Non-discrimination Provision" as the Attorney General argues.
At issue is the prohibition against physicians providing abortions to people who are carrying fetuses with genetic abnormalities.

I was a student at the University of Notre Dame Law School while Amy Coney Barrett was a professor.
While she had a reputation for collegiality and excellence in the classroom, the biggest lesson she taught me was that a person could be kind and civil while embracing an ideology that regards some individuals worthy of fewer rights and less freedom.
Make no mistake about it: Judge Amy Coney Barrett is an extremist pick. Her record on reproductive rights, coverage for preexisting conditions, LGBTQ+ rights, and the dignity of work is abysmal.
