Fighting for access & justice @votingislocal. Rooted in BIPOC communities that raised me. Fueled by ancestral strength & sacrifice. All views are my own

Burnout happens not because workers failed to practice enough self-care.

Burnout happens because the working conditions that cause burnout were never addressed.

[Equal Justice Initiative @eji_org]

This #VeteransDay, EJI acknowledges the plight of many Black veterans who, instead of being treated as honored members of society upon their return from service, were often attacked, lynched, mistreated and abused. https://t.co/iTkuWKd1pr

Cochise County, AZ’s decision to move forward with a hand count of all of the ballots will only serve to undermine public trust in the election system. Volunteers hand-counting ballots can lead to inconsistencies with an otherwise secure machine system. (1/4) 🧵

[All Voting is Local @VotingIsLocal]

Hand counts are supported by false claims that the 2020 election was rigged. Instead of putting that claim to bed, Cochise County officials have chosen to give it new life and further undermine the legitimacy of our elections. (2/4)

“Following a strategy of confusion and disruption, conspiracy theorists continue to use every possible tactic to disenfranchise voters, grab power, and make our free and fair elections partisan playgrounds,” said @alexgulotta (3/4)

@Garrett_Archer @maricopacounty Cowards! If they’re so proud of what they’re doing, why do they need the masks?

[AAPD @AAPD]

Finally, at 3:00pm, we will think about how coalitions and partnerships can bring us greater collective success with @RebeccaCokley of the Ford Foundation, @Olivia4FL of Disability Rights Florida, @rosemaryav of All Voting Is Local, and Priestley Johnson of @WhenWeAllVote.

Instead of passing the budget, members of the #AZLeg are seeking to push through more anti-voter legislation that will harm our freedom to vote. #HB2780 /1

[Alex Gulotta @alexgulotta]

#HB2780 would put the entire voter list on the internet, including full name, full address, year of birth, and voting precinct. This is not about transparency, this is an effort to make it easier for voters to be intimidated by conspiracy theorists & vigilantes. #AZLeg /2

[Alex Gulotta @alexgulotta]

We saw during Shaye Moss’ #Jan6 testimony yesterday that doxing can ruin lives and endanger voters, poll workers, and election officials. #HB2780 #AZLeg /3

[Alex Gulotta @alexgulotta]

Election workers, voters, and our democracy are in need of protection. Instead of looking for ways to undermine the will of the people by intimidating voters, lawmakers should be doing everything possible to protect them. Not this! #HB2780 #AZLeg /end

[Alex Gulotta @alexgulotta]

AND, for today, democracy prevails! https://t.co/AXsjioIJie

[Alex Gulotta @alexgulotta]

Here we go, AGAIN! The AZ GOP is urging a judge to end early voting for all Arizona Voters. Today, the power to decide whether or not millions of voters have the right to vote early comes down to the decision of one person. #VotingAccessIsDemocracry /1

[Alex Gulotta @alexgulotta]

Access to early voting for millions of voters in Arizona is being targeted. This is the latest attack on ballot access that would grab power from voters. #VotingAccessIsDemocracry #AccessIsDemocracy /2

[Alex Gulotta @alexgulotta]

Ending early voting will burden all voters and will exclude some entirely. This is the latest attempt to silence the voice of the people of Arizona. #VotingAccessIsDemocracry #AccessIsDemocracy /3

[Alex Gulotta @alexgulotta]

Ending early voting would also end vote-by-mail -- harming all voters, specifically voters of color, voters with disabilities, and voters with limited income. #VotingAccessIsDemocracry #AccessIsDemocracy /4

[Alex Gulotta @alexgulotta]

In the 2020 election, more than 3 million voters cast their ballots early. Some form of early voting has been part of Arizona elections for more than 100 years. #VotingAccessIsDemocracry #AccessIsDemocracy /5
