Good news! 🎉 @GovHobbs has vetoed the so-called "South Park bill," a Project 2025-inspired attack on our First Amendment rights. Reach out and thank her at 602-542-4331 or [email protected]. buff.ly/tAnZC5E

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

Here comes another overly long ballot 😒 The tl;dr: If it's from the people, vote YES. If it's from the legislature, vote NO. www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/arizona...

Hobbs still has 205 bills left on her desk to sign or veto. By law, she has 10 days to do it. buff.ly/z1HSYsV

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.

😡 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 [email protected]. #HB4117 #FirstAmendment #LGBTQ #ProtectOurRights

NEW WEEKLY: #AZLeg passed a budget and adjourned for the year, but not before throwing several napalm bombs at voters on its way out the door. Read for all the juicy details — and some urgent action items 👇️ buff.ly/tkFthHA

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??

UPCOMING: #AZLeg lawmakers to vote today on budget bills to send to Gov. Hobbs — then stick around Friday to vote up to 24 mostly harmful measures onto our November ballots.

🚨 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 [email protected] & ask her to veto this harmful bill. buff.ly/uziAhyx

🚨 “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

If your state senator is Brian Fernandez, we hear he especially needs to hear from you on #HB4117. [email protected] / 602-926-3098

BAD BILL ALERT! AZSenate set to hear #HB4117, the "Don Lemon bill" banning "disturbing a religious service" (even on public streets). This broadly written bill hands street preachers a legal weapon to shut down Pride. Call your state senator TODAY to vote NO: buff.ly/0bUiLFH

BAD BILL ALERT: #AZLeg to hear #HB2133 today! This Project 2025-inspired "South Park" bill creates politically motivated censorship & demonizes LGBTQ+ people by conflating so-called “transgender ideology” with p0rn. Contact your #AZHouse reps TODAY & tell them to vote NO! buff.ly/NHRekeK

NEW WEEKLY: As #AZLeg continues negotiating a state budget behind closed doors, lawmakers got some new budget info. Here's why it matters. weekly.cebv.us/2026-06-01/

AZ HB4117 gives religious protesters a legal shield outside clinics and at Pride, while exposing clinic escorts and other protesters to felony charges. Contact your senator now. More info & links in CEBV Weekly: weekly.cebv.us/2026-... @azcebvus.bsky.social #AZLeg Please share to spread the word.

@azcebvus.bsky.social is running a free virtual letters-to-the-editor training on May 26, 6:30–7:30 PM. It's worth knowing how to write one that actually runs. Join in! www.mobilize.us/mobi... #Arizona #CivicEngagement Please share.

NEW WEEKLY: #AZLeg lawmakers are quietly working on a bill attacking our First Amendment rights. Read for details & how you can speak up. weekly.cebv.us/2026-05-25/

NEW WEEKLY: The bill moratorium is over, but lawmakers remain behind closed doors. Which bills may still pass? And what about the budget? Read more: weekly.cebv.us/2026-05-18/

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/

NEW WEEKLY: It's budget season at #AZLeg — or is it? We examine the upside-down priorities of this week's DOA proposal & what we can do to influence a better one. weekly.cebv.us/2026-05-03/

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.

People don't use the word "knave" nearly enough! Why is the stock market going up? It measures corporate profits, and profits go up when people are fired. @rbreich.bsky.social how can we create a measurement of broad economic well-being? GDP ain't it, nor is the stock market.

This wonderful post details the core American values we share and the need for us to strive toward a government that lives up to the American promise. Pour yourself some coffee, dig in, then let's get to work. buff.ly/j6xMRVz

NEW WEEKLY! It's that time of year: long-stalled bad bills are in motion. weekly.cebv.us/2026-04-13/

🚨 #AZLeg has passed #HB2133. In the name of "protecting children" from "harmful material," this overbroad, Project 2025-inspired bill attacks our right to criticize our elected officials. Gov. Hobbs is reportedly interested in signing the bill. Contact her office NOW 602-542-4331 buff.ly/LmRfvPw

Another year has gone by with no fix to the housing crisis #AZLeg created with their incredibly permissive short-term rental system. The article notes that, from Sedona to Scottsdale, "average workers can't find housing." Senate Republican leadership doesn't appear to give a crap.

New data shows voters in “the middle” are not asking for ideological centrism, despite what centrist analysts have written. Trying to win swing voters through generic moderation produces effects so small and inconsistent that the advice is practically useless. buff.ly/tARWdxi

The state of WA will end a tax break for data centers, recouping $83 million/yr for state & local coffers. Imagine what we could do with that money — especially since #AZLeg is looking at cutting the programs Arizonans rely on. buff.ly/TetvPbQ

NEW WEEKLY: With committee season over, what is #AZLeg even doing? Let's demystify that, discuss the challenges between here & the finish line, & go over some of the top bills that are still alive. weekly.cebv.us/2026-04-06/

Speaking of unserious lawmakers: #AZLeg is advancing a bill to ask voters to end school vaccine requirements or any "medical mandate." This would even ban schools from directing parents to treat kids with lice. The bill is moving on party lines, with only Republicans in support. buff.ly/saducUq

Hey AZ! Wanna know how unserious our current legislative majority is? They sent this bill to the governor's desk today. (It's awaiting her veto.) #AZLeg

NEW WEEKLY: The last week of #AZLeg small-group hearings is called "trash can committees" for a reason. Time to weigh in on some brand new, spectacularly bad ideas! #RTS buff.ly/MfHUE0x

Rep. Lisa Fink, who represents a district in which 72% of people voted last year for Prop 139, said that she and other Republicans who took an oath to uphold the Arizona Constitution won’t actually do so if they feel it contradicts their Christian beliefs.

🗣️ "Secure the gun first. That’s what saves lives": Bruce Petillo, whose son died in 2021 at a sleepover due to an unsecured gun, explains why #AZLeg Republicans' bill "putting kids in charge of their own safety" is BS. 🔥 #SB1424 www.azcentral.com/story/opinio...

A broadly worded censorship bill now being considered at #AZLeg has "a direct line to Project 2025" & "will absolutely end up in court." Sadly, the governor is working to get it to her desk. Contact your senator & ask them to OPPOSE #HB2133! buff.ly/K2ajGmu

NEW WEEKLY: It's the last heavy week (we hope) & we've got lots to do! Plus, bills we haven't featured before, including a trojan horse with way too much support: Details here: 👇 weekly.cebv.us/2026-03-23/

We don't write the headlines 🤷‍♀️ As always, we recommend direct action. Contact your lawmakers directly, write Letters to the Editor, consider attending our weekly happy hour Zoom calls, talk with friends/neighbors/co-workers, etc. Here's a handy list of ways to get involved: linktr.ee/CEBV_Action

"SHRINKING HARVESTS": Arizona produces 25% of the entire US lettuce supply and about 90% of its leafy greens & winter vegetables — but hotter summers & dwindling water threaten crops. Each degree of warming reduces crop harvests 10%. Will policy makers act? www.azcentral.com/story/opinio...

New #AZLeg House lawmaker incoming: Maricopa County Board of Supervisors selects Cody Reim to fill Chaplik's LD3 House seat. He'll serve until someone new is elected in November.

Our new Legislature Weekly is out! Read all about it! (Then take action) weekly.cebv.us/2026-03-16/

Tomorrow, an #AZLeg committee hears 2 bills that experts say would ban classics, including the Bible, & make felons of librarians who loan them to students. Bill sponsor Jake "Fake Elector" Hoffman seems to get an awful lot of enjoyment from reading lurid texts into the record. 🤨

#AZLeg Republicans want to do Trump's bidding with #SCR1031, creating a fake new citizen-only “census” that "would advantage Republicans and non-Hispanic whites." If enacted, AZ would see huge negative impacts, disenfranchising younger, diverse voters in favor of older, whiter ones. buff.ly/AtznwUp
