🚨🏡 URGENT: Protect Our Local Communities from State Overreach! 🏡🚨

Arizona's state legislature is pushing forward HB2371 and SB1229, Bills that threaten to strip local governments of their authority over housing developments. These Bills have already passed Committee and are being sent to the floor for a vote!

🚨All 91 city governments in Arizona stand united AGAINST hese bills. When our local leaders and communities oppose legislation that developers support, it's clear there's a problem.

• 🏘️ Allow up to 24 tiny homes per acre on small infill projects, drastically increasing density from the current 4-6 homes per acre.
• ⏰ Steps closer to 15 min cities increasing high density housing, and corporate owned neighborhoods.
• 🛣️ Bypass city and town planning, ignoring local design standards and community visions.
• 🗣️ Eliminate citizen feedback, removing our voice in neighborhood developments.
• 🚱 Neglect infrastructure planning, leading to potential strains on utilities and services.

🤷‍♀️Why is the state legislature attempting to override local control? Our cities and towns know their unique needs best and should not have their hands tied for residential zoning.

☎️Call to Action:

📧 Email and call your Senators and Representatives NOW to express your opposition to HB2371 and SB1229. Demand that local control and community input remain central to housing decisions.

☎️CONTACT YOUR CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS and ask them to urge our Legislators to VOTE NO!

Please SHARE this post far and wide!!!

📣The so-called "Starter Home Act" (HB2371) passed the House Commerce Committee despite widespread concerns that it won’t actually create affordable housing. Now, the Senate version (SB1229) will be heard this Wednesday at 9 AM, and we must act now!

☎️ We need a strong presence of people to not only call and email the members of this committee, but also to show up in person and request to speak against this bill.

If you are not able to attend in person, please call, email and login to RTS to provide a thumbs DOWN and provide a public comment on why you are asking the committee to vote NO.

👎Why Oppose SB1229?

🚫Overreach & Loss of Local Control – Most importantly, this bill strips cities and towns of their ability to plan and manage growth, overriding approved General Plans. We the People do NOT want our voices silenced at the local level with big government overreach. To be clear - this bill REMOVES the voice of the WE THE PEOPLE in local city government and puts it in the hands of big government!

🚫No Guarantee of Affordable Housing – The bill does nothing to ensure reasonably priced starter homes will be built.

🚫Investors, Not Homeowners, Benefit – It allows corporations to buy homes. Think of the normal lot size of 5,000sqft at 8 homes per acre increased to 24 homes per acre. Let the cities decide on zoning for high density housing not the developers!

🚫Rural Areas Still Left Behind – The bill does nothing to address housing shortages in rural communities.

🚫Unclear & Risky Language – It includes vague provisions that could eliminate municipal regulations on private property without specifying which ones. All of the authority will be taken away from local city governments

🔥Public Safety Concerns – Firefighters have raised serious concerns about safety and infrastructure that remain unaddressed.

📣Take Action Now!
Use RTS to Oppose SB1229 before 8 AM Wednesday. If you have an account, login here: https://apps.azleg.gov/

Email the Committee by 4 PM Tuesday – Tell them to vote NO on SB1229. If you live in their district, be sure to mention it!

Email the full committee:

Attend the Hearing in Person – Wednesday, 9 AM, SHR 109 (1700 W. Washington). Your presence makes a difference! Request to speak online or in person when you arrive.

SB1229 mirrors HB2371 and is bad for Arizona. It takes authority away from cities and gives developers power and control.

We the People deserve a voice!

Thank you pastor Robb Brunansky from Desert Hills Bible Church for speaking truth and being fearless from the pulpit to address these issues and lead God’s people in prayer in these perilous times. ? We need more pastors like you to boldly lead in a time where most are afraid to stand for righteousness.

May God’s will be done and may we all join in agreement with this prayer for Tuesday!

❌VOTE NO ON ABORTION UNTIL BIRTH❗️

Women who have had abortions, know the risks, and have read Prop 139, are shocked to learn how far it goes; that it expands abortion beyond viability, throughout the entire pregnancy for virtually any reason, and it removes the required medical doctor and the safeguards in place to protect girls and women. Arizonans like Stephanie say Prop 139 goes way too far.

https://youtu.be/enBEO_rE7rc?si=5dCm2igvw0WhrdIr

A former abortionist sees the dangers in removing safeguards for girls and women through Prop 139. He calls it “insane” to leave women in the hands of anyone other than a qualified medical doctor with the expertise to detect and respond to emergencies. Dr. Levatino says he would never leave patients in the dangerous situation that Prop 139 leaves them in.

Vote ❌NO❌ on PROP 139!
