AZ gubernatorial hopeful Andy Biggs taps Sine Kerr as his running mate. Media is already describing her as "a bit to the left of Biggs" politically. CEBV has 10 years of detailed receipts on #AZLeg, including former Sen. Kerr. Let's examine her record. /1

Gov. Katie Hobbs notches another 88 vetoes (including 59 bills we opposed), bringing her yearly veto total to 151. We're so grateful to have her as a backstop to the flood of inane nonsense, citizen attacks and harmful garbage coming out of this far-right #AZLeg. buff.ly/5iOJC2G

What started as a secret bid to kill a school voucher-limiting ballot measure ended in a late-night Capitol blowup, and a new Republican strategy to win the ESA war anyway.
Welcome to the voucher war
A behind-the-scenes bargain on school vouchers ended in a late-night Capitol blowup — and a new Republican strategy to win the voucher war.
arizonaagenda.com
😡 Republicans know that Arizonans are sick of the fraud, waste, & abuse in the ESA voucher & will overwhelmingly pass the Protect Education Act. Their solution? Pushing a devious ballot referral in the dead of the night that aims to VOID the will of AZ voters – using military families as pawns 😡
They've done it — have you? Make those calls to stop HB4117! 602-542-4331 or engage@az.gov. #HB4117 #FirstAmendment #LGBTQ #ProtectOurRights

Our yearly budget and ballot referral recap. Buckle up, this one's a doozy. On to election season.
weekly.cebv.us
The budget has passed #AZLeg. Tomorrow is for ballot referrals and legislative fuckery. Stay tuned and be ready for quick action... and be prepared to go to the Capitol in person if you can.
#AZHouse has loaded up today's floor calendars with veto bait. Neal Carter is at the dais whining about lawmakers' voting pace (2+ mins/bill). "At this rate we'll be here well into tomorrow." Maybe they should try not shoving through so much garbage so quickly??
🚨 An #AZLeg bill criminalizing our First Amendment right to protest is heading to Gov. Hobbs' desk; she's signaled she may sign it. Contact her office at 602-542-4331 or engage@az.gov & ask her to veto this harmful bill. buff.ly/uziAhyx
Critics: Arizona's 'religious interference' bill is a shield for anti-LGBTQ, anti-abortion protests
Arizona religious interference bill could shield anti-LGBTQ and anti-abortion protests, critics warn

🚨 “The idea that someone could be subject to a felony because someone is protesting an abortion and they dare to say, ‘Leave me alone, stop harassing me,’ that truly is the definition of a bad bill” Contact your state senator & Gov. Katie Hobbs to ask them to OPPOSE #HB4117
Arizona Mirror@azmirror.com · 2mo ago“Protesting against any political thing does not become a religious service because somebody says a prayer in the middle of a protest,” the GOP sponosr said. “That’s not a religious service, that's a political protest.” story via @glorihuh.bsky.social
If your state senator is Brian Fernandez, we hear he especially needs to hear from you on #HB4117. bfernandez@azleg.gov / 602-926-3098
Civic Engagement Beyond Voting@azcebvus.bsky.social · 2mo agoBAD BILL ALERT! AZSenate set to hear #HB4117, the "Don Lemon bill" banning "disturbing a religious service" (even on public streets).

NEW WEEKLY: #AZLeg is signing off for the rest of May, even though AZ has no budget & a June 30 deadline looms. There's no plan for what happens next, beyond the majority's "let them eat retirement accounts" delusion. Here's how you can advocate for a better result 👇️ weekly.cebv.us/2026-05-11/

A DOA budget with upside-down priorities. Eye-rolling bluster. Getting it out of their systems (we hope).

We won. Tesla Chicago is closed. Their new location is in a ghost town. They sacrificed visibility to thousands/day--& proximity to the other luxury car dealerships--to get away from us, because we'd turned their brand ambassador location into a liability. Organizing works. @teslatakedown.com
Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?
We’re almost ready to announce more endorsements as part of our largest-ever Democratic primary program — because the pro-democracy movement deserves leaders who are just as committed to defeating fascism as the activists out in the streets.
