Legislative Alert January 11, 2022

FIRST: We are still supporting Children's Action Alliance in ensuring AZ policymakers act on the opportunity to expand Medicaid postpartum coverage to a full year after pregnancy. This adjustment saves lives! Click here to send a personalized post card to your lawmakers to raise awareness of the need for postpartum AHCCCS coverage. Post cards to be completed by Friday, January 14th.

SECOND: In 2021, for the first time, leaders at the state legislature allowed public testimony by video. Now in 2022, they are planning to end video testimony. We cannot go backwards by limiting public testimony only to people with easy access to the Capitol. We all benefit from equal access to our political process. Undoing the opportunity for video testimony in particular, hurts: people with disabilities, people living in rural areas and people living on tribal lands. Tell your state legislators:

Allow Remote Testimony

Please share these actionable items. Your help today makes for a better Arizona! Sincerely,
