Don’t let up the pressure! Please take a few moments to contact your elected officials and tell them to OPPOSE bills that violate the constitutionally required wall between church and state. These bills will be heard on April 13.

Contact your representatives to OPPOSE:

SB1013: Bans public schools from implementing hiring policies based on factors other than “merit” (who decides what “merit” means? You know who!) An attack on diversity, equity and inclusion that would allow for discrimination, including based on religious belief or lack thereof.
SB1741: Forces school districts to allow religious groups to pull students from class for religious instruction. Would expose students to indoctrination.
HB2133: Inspired by the white Christian nationalist blueprint Project 2025, would require written consent from anyone who’s digitally depicted in.a cartoon or AI video. Codifies censorship in the name of“protecting children.” Purposefully vague, broad language will be used to target LGBTQiA+ content and chill speech.
Contact your senator to OPPOSE:
HB2043: Would make abortion a felony by adding “unborn child” to definition of homicide. Grants legal rights to fetuses, laying the groundwork to restrict IVF, contraception, etc. through fetal personhood.
HB2060: Prohibits public educational institutions, including universities, from “encouraging or facilitating” abortions,  includes sharing of resources, referrals, or assistance related to abortion services. Reminder: abortion is legal in Arizona.
HB2086: Bans mask and vaccine requirements for schools, government entities, and even private businesses.
HB2144: Legalizes court-ordered child support to the date of a positive pregnancy test, codifying fetal personhood.
HB2184: Attempt to codify fetal personhood. Would allow for death certificates to be issued for embryos and fetuses before 20 weeks of gestation (before the point at which a fetus can survive outside the uterus). Replaces the term “fetus” with “unborn child,…

Last weekend, I asked people if they know someone who's terrified to live in this country right now. Almost every single hand went up.

I urge Congressional colleagues to sponsor my DRAIN ICE Act—to strip ICE of the $75BN that Trump and Republicans handed the agency last summer.

Really weird to be a Gen Xer who lived throug the Rs' moral panic and social stigma of teen pregnancy in the 80s only for their open and unapologetic position now to be that teens should be pumping out more babies, by force of law if necessary

I really hate that they're indoctrinating our troops with this christo fascist militant doctrine. Religion has no place in our government. It is unconstitutional and should not be drummed into their heads by Hegseth and others.

For Christian Nationalists, there is no tension here. Because the religious "freedom" they espouse is only for "real" Americans. In their view, their dominance over every institution is moral and necessary to reclaim their nation from those who have corrupted it (secularists, immigrants, Muslims).

“The fact is these men just want control because they can’t earn it any other way. They can’t earn respect so they force it upon their families. Their can’t convince people to adopt their views through conventional means so they pretend it’s biblical.”
