#Refer2404 Campaign Fundraiser

Protect your right to initiatives and referendums in Arizona.

In March of 2017, the Arizona legislature passed a bill that sets the financial bar for initiatives and referendums higher than ever before. If we don't stop it, HB2404 will silence ordinary people by ensuring that only the most financially privileged people can place measures on the ballot.
 
·       Constitutional Right: Initiative and referendum are the very first enumerated power of the very first enumerated branch in the Arizona Constitution and guarded from executive and legislative veto.
·       Equality Under the Law: Since it doesn't apply to candidate petitions, HB2404 creates an inequality between citizens and politicians that places us at a political disadvantage.
·       Bottom Up Government: Ordinary people in the State of Arizona were intended by its founders to be the most powerful branch of government, and we should keep it that way.
·       Abuse of Power: HB2404 is another in a series of patterned behavior by the GOP controlled legislature for whom political challenges are an inconvenience. Enough is enough.
·       Frontier Spirit: Arizona's political heritage is rich with triumphs of the people going back to our very first successful initiative in 1912, which gave women the right to vote.
·       Keep Good Jobs: Circulating petitions is not easy, and the people who do it deserve their pay. HB2404 robs them of the fair value of their work and replaces it with a low hourly wage.

Want to get involved?

Grassroots Citizens Concerned is a non partisan coalition of ordinary people across the state who believe that politicians in Arizona have gone too far. Right now we are focused on the #Refer2404 effort to hold them accountable.

Our number one priority is getting the signatures we need within 90 days, so there's no time to lose. This campaign is not going to win itself, and the people with the money are not going to pay for it either. We have to do it ourselves! Donate for supplies right away, and let us know if you can volunteer to circulate at one or more upcoming events.
