Tell your state Reps to vote "no" on bad bills that limit Tucson's ability to protect the environment and voting

A bill that prohibits cities from planning bike paths advances at the AZ legislature

Despite our best efforts with Request to Speak, some bills still advanced to the House for a vote. Please, sign the petitions the Sierra Club provided to reach out to your Representatives to ask them to oppose these bills. Adding a personal comment helps. For even more impact, you can email your reps directly - using some of the talking points included on the petition.

Keep up the pressure against bills that would impede efforts to reduce traffic and promote transit and biking. Use this link to take action to oppose SB1312, SB1313, SB1314, and SCR1018.

Don't forget to ask your representatives to oppose SB1278, a bill to limit cities' and towns' ability to protect their residents via local building code provisions related to affordability, energy, and public health. Use this link to take action on SB1278.

Ask your representatives in the Arizona House to oppose bills that prohibit consideration of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors when deciding on state investments. Use this link to ask them to vote NO on SB1139 and SB1500!

Most people in Arizona use early voting by mail as a safe and secure method of voting. Unfortunately, the Arizona Legislature is seeking to make that method of voting much more difficult and has introduced many bills to do so.

Ask your representatives to oppose SB1141 (early ballot drop off; identification).

It requires additional voter ID to drop off an early ballot. This is unnecessary as they already have the signature for verification. In the last election, people waited in lines for more than two hours to vote. This bill will make them longer. Use this link to reach out to your Representative on SB1141.
