With the elections behind us, we need your help to be a strong presence at the Arkansas Legislature, convening in January. There will be a few opportunities to make progress, but we expect to have our hands full playing defense on key issues like education, voting rights, the environment, economic justice, civil rights, and public health.
Your donations allow us to help our member groups build strong campaigns on things like education, fair housing, and climate change. But there are always a slew of attacks on our values as well. We are one of the few organizations that monitor the whole legislature, reading over 2,000 bills that are filed each session. Last session, we were instrumental in defeating several bad bills that would have gutted our state minimum wage, hurt our public schools, and more.
