Yesterday marked a milestone in our months-long battle to defend democracy in Arizona this session. Since the beginning of the session, Indivisibles packed the committee hearing for HB 2616 and made hundreds of calls to their legislators to fight back against anti-democratic bills including HB 2616. We are thrilled that the Arizona House listened to the will of their constituents and voted against HB 2616.
For too long, the rules of our democracy have been rigged in favor of the wealthy and the white. Today’s passage of H.R. 1 dramatically raises the bar as we continue to work to create a democracy that includes and represents us all.
What the Republican-controlled Arizona Legislature did today is an affront to democracy and the will of the people. SB 1188 would purge over 260,000 Arizonans from the early voter rolls and is a deliberate attempt to make it harder for Arizonans to participate in the democratic process. Republicans in the legislature have shown that they want to silence the people’s voice to ensure that only the voices of those already in power are heard.

A historic power grab requires a historic response. Congress has never acted to terminate a national emergency declared by a president, but it is crucial that they do so this time. Make no mistake: this was not an emergency. Instead, this was an illegal, anti-democratic power grab rooted in hate.
