Happening right now. #SenateJudiciary Hearing on Restoring the Voting Rights Act after Brnovich and Selby County. judiciary.senate.gov/meetings/resto…
Ms. Janai Nelson, the Associate Director-Counsel for the @NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund, thoroughly dissects the Brnovich case's flaws and effect of promoting racial discrimination. @CASEActionAZ @AZHouseDems
Ms. Nelson points out that there were no instances or evidence of fraud in AZ that proponents in Brnovich could point to in Court, indicating that the motive for prohibiting third party ballot return assistance is to prevent BIPOC voters from being able to vote. @CASEActionAZ

Midterm elections were a year ago today.

While I dreamed of Arizona being the 38th state to #RatifyERA, Virginia is poised to become the final state.

The difference? A democratic majority in the state legislature.
(THREAD 1/15)
In 2017, we thought that with the addition of Rep. @DrGerae, there would be a possibility for the #ERA to at least get a committee hearing since Arizona was FIRST in the country in female representation in the legislature at the time. /2

Gov. @dougducey spent a significant portion of the SOS highlighting the accomplishments of AZ female trailblazers, but notably left out the #EqualRightsAmendment.

To do so felt like an attempt to gloss over the rampant sexual harassment at #azleg. /3

This letter from inside Arizona’s Perryville State Prison details the brutality & dangers of prison life for incarcerated women.

It also reminds us of the devastating impact that mass incarceration has on women & their families. Thread (1/12) smartjusticeaz.org/stories/a-lett…
The author is 1 of ~4,300 women held in AZ prisons. AZ is a leading driver of women’s incarceration, which stands at a historic & global high in the US even as overall incarceration rates have finally begun to fall alongside historic low crime rates (2/12) prisonpolicy.org/global/women/2…
The number of women incarcerated in AZ state prisons has more than doubled since 2000, far outpacing the 19% national growth of women in all state prisons over that time (3/12). fwd.us/news/arizona-i…
