Indivisibles,
You may not know me, I’m the Arizona organizer for all our wonderful, fantastic Indivisible groups in Arizona. It's such a pleasure to work with these groups across the state -- from Sedona, Flagstaff, Nogales, Scottsdale, Prescott, Phoenix, Bullhead City, + more (I bet some of you have vacationed in a few of those places!).
Our Indivisibles have won in Arizona in 2018, 2020 and 2022. They have worked hard to run for office, phonebank, canvass, textbank, send postcards, host town halls (so many educational town halls!), advocate at our state legislature (we see you CEBV) and get letters to the editor published in tiny rural newspapers and all across the state (we see you ITAA).
In the past 7 years, they have also helped our partners to gather petition signatures for Save Our Schools Arizona, Healthcare Rising, Outlaw Dirty Money, voting rights, etc. They are known in AZ as accurate volunteer signature gatherers and take pride in their work!
Now they are taking on their biggest challenge yet:
Getting the Arizona for Abortion Access initiative signatures so we can have an abortion rights initiative on the ballot 2024. We’ll need at least 500k signatures by July 2024 to make it happen. Phew, that’s a lot. These signatures can ONLY be gathered in person, one person at a time. Yep, one person at a time.
We can do this, but we need your help. We have over 900+ Indivisibles pledged to carry petitions. We have 12 groups across the state picking up petitions this week.
Our Arizona Indivisible groups are all volunteers. They need money to purchase pens, legal-sized clipboards, signs, water for the volunteers (it's still hot here!) and so much more.
If you are able, please donate to help support us. I’ve asked Indivisible to send this email into the blue states that have reproductive access. I was raised in Minnesota and know how valuable our blue state friends are. We need your help in AZ. Help our state join yours in having access to abortion.
Thank you so much for listening,
Tricia Sauer Arizona Senior Organizing Manager
P.S. Also, if you are able, please consider donating directly to Arizona for Abortion Access -- they created the initiative, and provide trainings, staff, coordination, messaging, etc. They need your help also!
In true Indivisible style, here’s a puppy picture to reward you for making it to the end of this email. This is a foster puppy at an Indivisible leader's house -- I drop by and get my puppy love to keep my bucket full:
