Hi there,

If you think Democracy Now!’s reporting is a critical line of defense against war, climate catastrophe and fascism, please make your donation of $10 or more right now. Today a generous donor will DOUBLE your donation, which means it’ll go twice as far to support our independent journalism. When Democracy Now! covers war or gun violence, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers. When we cover the climate emergency, our reporting isn’t sponsored by the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Democracy Now! is funded by you, and that’s why we’re counting on your donation to keep us going. Please give today. Every dollar makes a difference—in fact, gets doubled! Thank you so much.

Arizona Lawmakers Move to Limit Trans Rights, Reproductive Rights and Voting Rights

HeadlineMar 25, 2022

The Arizona state House has passed two anti-transgender bills. The legislation would prohibit medically necessary gender-affirming surgery for trans youth and ban trans athletes from participating in school sports. Arizona lawmakers also approved an aggressive anti-abortion bill that would ban the procedure after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The bill now heads to the desk of Republican Governor Doug Ducey, who supports anti-abortion policies. In more Arizona news, the state Senate on Wednesday passed a Republican-led bill that would force residents to retroactively provide proof of citizenship to remain registered voters. Voting rights advocates have warned the bill could trigger “the most extreme voter purge in the country,” and say Black, Latinx, Native, low-income and senior voters would be disproportionately impacted.
