We’ve been fighting for a more progressive Arizona since 2013. In our first years, we got our name exposing state legislators who were being wined and dined by lobbyists with ALEC. Since then, we’ve helped block countless attacks on voting rights, working people, public education and immigrant families. We’ve called out state legislators and our governor for racism, bigotry and corruption. We’ve helped mobilize record-breaking voter turnout from young people and people of color. In short, as Republican legislator John Fillmore once said, we are at the forefront of “progressive scary thought” in Arizona. And proud of it.

VetsForward puts those skills to work by mobilizing America’s military veterans to engage voters in meaningful conversation about the American values they fought for in the service—the same values that make our democracy strong.

Propositions 128, 129, and 132 take away your right to decide what happens in Arizona. They allow politicians who don’t like the decisions we’ve made to rewrite the rules, so they can get what they want, instead of what Arizonans want.
