As Justin J. Pearson puts it, the bottom line is this: “Rather than heeding wise counsel on the subject of reducing gun violence, [the Tennessee] legislature has frequently resorted to reactive and even anti-democratic tactics.”

Vote them out.

This NEVER would have been possible had it not been for the incredible efforts of Arizona Dems. But remember: This move would still only take the state’s abortion ban to 15 weeks. We must grow Dem power in the state this year to ensure progress continues to be made on this issue.

The Arizona House voted to repeal the state’s archaic 1864 abortion ban – all thanks to state Dems! They tirelessly pushed for this vote, even in the face of GOP opposition.

Make no mistake: Dems will never stop fighting for their constituents’ rights. nbcnews.com/politics/arizo…

The NC legislature is back in session today. While Dems want to focus on measures that will protect their constituents' rights & improve their lives, the GOP’s stolen supermajority has other plans: Pushing an extremist agenda on the people of their state. bit.ly/49OW5x4

SCOTUS is hearing the oral arguments in Idaho v. United States today. While the case pends before the court, the far-right majority has allowed ID's near-total abortion ban to go into effect, threatening the lives & health of pregnant people in the state. time.com/6969108/suprem…

Texas Republicans recently banned colleges from having DEI offices, leading to the firing of dozens of employees at state universities. These were people who provided resources and support to students – now just kicked to the curb thanks to GOP extremism. bit.ly/4cZu4pg

While Dem-led states are pushing back against book bans and protecting librarians, Republicans are fighting to remove books from school shelves and throw librarians IN PRISON.

They have gone so far off the deep end. #WorldBookDay wapo.st/3Uo8tj5

Flipping the AZ House & Senate in 2024 isn't a priority – it’s a necessity.

Republicans in the state are too extreme and out of step with voters, & it’s never been more important to flip the legislature and elect true champions of reproductive justice. bit.ly/3W8juq2

It’s unacceptable that guns are the leading cause of death for kids in America, period.

But it’s even worse that, while knowing this, Republicans continue to block the efforts of Dems like Justin J. Pearson to keep their constituents safe. cnn.com/2024/04/16/opi…

Ballot measures are a meaningful way to lift up the voice of the people. But as long as the GOP controls your state legislature, they’ll work night & day to undermine any ballot measure they disagree with. It’s more important than ever to elect state Dems.

These wins in MI are just the latest in a long string of Dem victories in special elections this cycle! This year and every year, we’re committed to defending and expanding Dem power in the states – let’s keep up the momentum as we head towards November! bit.ly/4azz0zq

It’s no secret that the GOP has made banning books and villainizing libraries a cornerstone of their agenda in recent years. Now, librarians say the GOP’s actions have caused them to face threats and even criminal charges. #WorldBookDay

Arizona House Republicans have ignored calls from Arizona communities and repeatedly refused to repeal the state’s 1864 total abortion ban.

They will own 100% of the disastrous consequences. nbcnews.to/3Wbmpho

Instead of finding real solutions to keep kids safer from gun violence, Iowa Republicans just passed a measure that would put these dangerous weapons in classrooms by allowing teachers and school employees to be armed. bit.ly/4aHvEKG

Republicans continue to ignore climate change – and even pretend it isn’t real. But state Dems are tackling reality head-on. In Arizona – where much of the state is a desert – Republicans are actually trying to block climate change initiatives. #EarthDay bit.ly/3VkOH8V

Wishing a joyous and blessed Passover to all those celebrating.

Chag Sameach!

.Nicole for NC is on the ballot for the NC House against Rep. Tricia Cotham, who switched parties last year, giving the GOP the votes they needed to pass an abortion ban. A win here could break the GOP supermajority.

Support her today: bit.ly/3Uid9Hf

Democrats are winning special elections all over the country. Last week’s wins secured Dem control of the Michigan House and are just the latest example of Dem candidates overperforming in their districts.

I have plenty of examples from blue, battleground, and red states: 🧵

The climate crisis is coming at us fast. In the face of slow federal action, we’ve had to rely on Democratic-controlled state legislatures to pick up the slack. This #EarthDay , remember: Every majority Democrats hold is one step towards making our country greener.

Here’s the bottom line: When it comes to protecting Americans’ fundamental rights, it's not enough to fund the top of the ticket. State legislatures are now the ballot level that needs attention and resources more than ever before. bit.ly/4dcGHNU
