Yesterday, I stood on the floor of the AZ Legislature to defend our voting rights against a bill that would *make no mistake* disproportionately affect the Black and brown communities access to voting. 1/4
We've seen this before. During my testimony GOP legislators interrupted, dropping a Jim Crow Era slur, "colored people" in defense of the egregious bill that will purge more than 100k ppl from the PEVL. Including seniors and independent voters. 2/4
The conclusion was that I "should be sat down and shouldn't be allowed to speak". Let me be clear. I did not and will not sit down. Nor will I ever stop speaking out for the communities that the GOP wishes to disenfranchise from our democratic process. 3/4
In the past 4 months the AZ GOP has introduced 23+ voter suppression bills, with the PEVL Purge (#SB1485) likely to hit the Governor's desk. Yesterday, it passed through on party lines. Call Gov. Ducey and demand he VETO SB1485: (602) 542-4331. 4/4
