ICYMI:

This morning, the @AZHouseGOP passed a slew of transphobic, bigoted, and anti-abortion bills in the House Judiciary Committee.

This is what happened, what the bills are, and what you can do next to stop these attacks on our civil rights. #AZLEG

⬇️🧵
#SB1164:
The 15-week abortion ban which is a copy of the the same bill at the center of Dobbs v. Jackson — the Supreme Court Case awaiting a decision this summer that will decide the fate of Roe v. Wade.

This bill passed out of committee on partisan lines of 6-4. #AZLEG
#SB1164:

It is now up to the Arizona House of Representatives to decide the fate of it before it gets sent over to the desk of Gov. Doug Ducey. If it passes, it would ban all abortions in Arizona at 15-weeks. Still before many know they're pregnant.

Arizonans: if you voted YES on raising the minimum wage, legalizing marijuana, or investing in education, there's something you need to know.

We were only able to pass those changes thanks to something called the ballot initiative process. And right now, it's under attack. 1/5
Ballot initiatives allow voters to make laws directly, without going through our state legislature. If you collect enough signatures, you can put an initiative on the ballot. If voters approve it, it becomes law. This process is a right - one guaranteed in our constitution. 2/5
But Arizona Republicans HATE that voters have this kind of power, and every year, they try to find ways to make ballot initiatives harder....or even impossible. 3/5

The AZ GOP has snuck all kinds of anti-voter provisions into the budget deal that passed the Arizona State Senate very late Tuesday night and could pass the House as soon as today.

Some of the most concerning (and bizarre) provisions include...
1. Taking away the power to settle election-related lawsuits from the Sec. of State (a Democrat), and giving it to the Attorney General (a Republican). Total power grab! Applies only til Jan 2023 - just in case a Democrat becomes AG in 2022
2. Authorizing the Attorney General and outside third parties hired by the legislature (did someone say Cyber Ninjas?) to sift through the voter registration database, and giving them the power to remove people from the rolls

It's currently 9 PM and Republicans in the Arizona Senate are rushing through one of the most reckless budget plans in the history of Arizona. This plan does nothing but undermine Prop 208 — at the cost of resources for everyday Arizonans. Watch ⬇️ #AZLEG

"It's expensive to be poor in Arizona." - @NavarreteAZ as he votes NO on the proposed budget flat tax plan.
It is now 10PM and the @AZSenateGOP is currently attempting to pass a complete power grab against the Secretary of State. Despite @SecretaryHobbs being elected by Arizonans across the state, Republicans in the #AZLEG are attempting to strip away as much of her power as possible.

*THREAD*

.@Dougducey has officially signed #SB1457 into law. All the efforts & over 2,000 signatures collected had a great impact on how this legislation is pushed out & the fight is definitely not over.

We fought against this horrible bill for these reasons:

#AZLEG (1/6)
This bill criminalizes doctors who perform an abortion based on genetic abnormalities with a Class 3 FELONY.

This puts doctors who perform abortion-care in Arizona in an incredibly difficult position, as they could receive a felony for providing basic healthcare. (2/6) #AZLEG
The litigation efforts that will come due to this bill will be extremely costly & will take away from more important issues throughout our state like COVID-19 relief.

This is what the @AZSenateGOP would rather focus on than addressing real issues facing our state. #AZLEG (3/6)

We are here with the Reproductive Rights Coalition to deliver over 2,000 petition signatures asking Gov. Ducey to veto #SB1457 #AZLeg #handsoffaz
“This is a bill contrary to 76% of Arizona voters, who believe that personal medical decisions are between a patient and a doctor. This is our legislatures’ attempt to pander to extremists” -@CiviaTamarkin
“This is a bill that puts lives in danger and something that very few people pay attention to it is a violation of the first amendment establishment clause on freedom of religion because this bill attempts to enshrine one religious belief into law” -@CiviaTamarkin
