The Arizona State Legislature will convene on Monday, January 8, 2024. Many legislators will hit the ground running with bills that they already have in the hopper. See the bills that have been pre-filed so far
That means we need to be ready to fight for good bills, fight against bad bills, and be prepared to advocate for adjustments for bills somewhere in the middle right out of the box.
You can prepare your advocacy chops before the legislative session starts by listening to the Arizona Common Ground podcast, an eight-episode educational podcast series that gives a behind the scenes glimpse of the state legislative system and learn how bills can become laws. The Consumable Podcast Series is Available as:
ARIZONA COMMON GROUND on Apple Podcasts
