TOP ACTIONS

Let’s Stand with Women! HB2062 – The Arizona Sex-Based Terms bill passed the Arizona House & Senate last week and is on its way to Governor Hobbs’ desk for signature. This bill legally defines sex-based words as ‘woman’ and ‘man’ and helps protect single-sex spaces & opportunities.
Please respectfully send a message Governor Hobbs asking her to stand with women and sign HB2062 into law!
Sample message: Dear Governor Hobbs – As a citizen of Arizona, I ask that you please sign HB2062 into law. Everyone agrees that Arizona has an important governmental interest in preventing sex discrimination. But we cannot fight sex discrimination if we cannot define ‘sex.’ This bill helps to define common sex-based words like ‘woman’ and ‘man’, which is already used in many of our Arizona statutes. This bill will also help protect women by ensuring Arizona’s important interest in offering single-sex spaces to advance equal opportunity, privacy, safety, and fairness. Thank you.

PRAY
Father, we pray that we and our families may be overflowing with Your Spirit this week. In light of Galatians 5:22-23, we set ourselves before you, asking you to forge these qualities in (name each person) as we walk with You:
Love that is unselfish, sacrificial, and unconditional;
Joy that is anchored in a deep sense of happiness and contentment that comes from You;
Peace grounded in a calm and tranquil heart, regardless of circumstances;
Patience to endure difficulties and bear with others;
Kindness rooted in compassion, consideration, and generosity;
Goodness that aims for moral excellence and doing what is right in Your sight;
Faithfulness that is loyal, reliable, and trustworthy in our relationships;
Gentleness expressed through a humble and meek spirit, not harsh or overly forceful;
And finally, self-control that exercises restraint over desires, emotions, and impulses.
Thank you for your unending and unconditional LOVE. In Jesus's Mighty Name! AMEN!
