Our Message to Governor Ducey

Arizona is currently facing a health crisis, an unemployment crisis, a housing crisis, and an education crisis. We need bold and immediate action.

We are asking Governor Ducey to:

1. Protect our health. Require masks statewide. Do everything possible to increase and speed up testing.

2. Ensure Arizonans who have lost their jobs can eat, pay their bills and keep a roof over their heads. Fix the continued problems at the Department of Economic Security. Bring the legislature back for a special session to increase weekly payments.

3. Keep families in their homes. Get rent assistance money to those who need it. Extend and strengthen the eviction moratorium.

4. Fund schools. Bring the legislature back and push them to fund virtual learning, along with retrofitting, smaller class sizes and protective equipment once we're ready for students to come back. Do not open schools before it's safe!

5. Protect the most vulnerable. Identify and release medically vulnerable people from Arizona prisons and jails.

Here's the letter that will be sent -- edit and add your own comments below:

Dear Governor Ducey,

Arizona is currently facing a health crisis, an unemployment crisis, a housing crisis, and an education crisis. Working class, Latino, Black and Native American Arizonans are being hurt worst. Across the state, families are being forced to make impossible choices -- between their health and their livelihood, their kids' education and their neighbors' safety.

As our governor, you need to take immediate action to address these multiple, overlapping crises. In particular: 
1. Protect our health. Require masks statewide. Shut down all non-essential businesses. 
2. Ensure Arizonans who have lost their jobs can eat, pay their bills and keep a roof over their heads. Fix the continued problems at the Department of Economic Security, and get unemployment payments to the 125,000 Arizonans who are still waiting. Bring the legislature back for a special session to increase weekly payments. 
3. Keep families in their homes. Get rent assistance money to those who need it. Extend and strengthen the eviction moratorium. 
4. Fund schools. Bring the legislature back and push them to fund virtual learning, along with retrofitting, smaller class sizes and protective equipment once we're ready for students to come back. Do not open schools before it's safe!

Sincerely,
