Want an example of the extent of animal ag’s reach? Regan Russell, the woman pictured here, was run over and killed by a truck carrying pigs at the entrance to a slaughterhouse. The driver got 12 months’ probation and a $2,000 fine! She was a hero for animals. The driver belongs in prison!

Arizonans running for Congress share the same platform: lower healthcare & housing costs, protect Social Security & Medicare, defend reproductive freedom, secure water. Not abstractions — lived commitments from an ER doctor, Navajo Nation pres, veterans & neighbors who know these struggles firsthand

Democracy is the one tool we have to fight back when powerful interests rig the system against working families and small towns. If we don't register, we lose that power. There are only 2 days left Arizona - go to iwillvote.com/ and check your registration, or register - it matters.
