John,

Instead of working alongside Katie to address our teacher retention crisis or enact common-sense gun safety legislation to protect our educators and students, extreme Republican lawmakers are trying to ban books from our classrooms.

Beyond Magenta, an award-winning book sharing stories from LGBTQ+ teens, is just one example of the many books being vilified and targeted by extreme Republicans in our state legislature.

This goes hand-in-hand with their other proposed legislation to ban drag shows, ban medical care for transgender youth, and further dehumanize transgender kids.

Instead of working to make bipartisan progress with Katie on the real issues Arizonans are facing, extreme Republicans are waging culture wars and fabricating non-issues to divide our communities.

That’s why Katie is committed to flipping Arizona all the way blue and vetoing any legislation that targets LGBTQ+ Arizonans and does nothing to help make our state a better place for all.

To support her efforts, will you pitch in $13.99, the price of Beyond Magenta, or any amount today to show extreme Republicans that this grassroots team will overcome their hate? We just set a mid-month goal of 250 donations, and if you pitch in today we’ll reach our goal in no time.
