Arizona House of Representatives and Senate Democrats

We’re closer than ever to to passing prison oversight—SB 1507 sailed through both chambers on a bipartisan wave and passed every committee unanimously. Now Governor Hobbs is threatening to yank its $1.5 million budget, leaving the new Independent Correctional Oversight Office powerless.
This isn’t about politics; it’s about saving lives, protecting everyone inside our prisons—incarcerated people and staff alike—and stopping taxpayers from footing the bill for unchecked abuses. Governor Hobbs promised real oversight. We delivered a bipartisan solution that will fix problems and save lives.
We must not stand for this betrayal. Every Democratic lawmaker in the Arizona House and Senate must stand firm and tell Governor Hobbs: No oversight, no budget. Keep SB 1507 fully funded in this year’s budget and sign it into law—no more excuses, no more backtracking.
Join us and sign this petition to show our Democratic legislators that we demand action! We must all tell Governor Hobbs: No oversight, no budget! Keep independent prison oversight fully funded now.
Please, sign the petition, share with family and friends, and call the Governor's office (602) 542‑4331. Tell Gov. Hobbs, "We demand oversight of ADCRR Now! Fund SB 1507!

Dear [Legislator Name],
We’re on the brink of real prison transparency—SB 1507 sailed through both chambers with overwhelming bipartisan support and cleared every committee unanimously. Now Governor Hobbs is threatening to strip its $1.5 million funding from the budget, leaving our Independent Correctional Oversight Office powerless.
This isn’t politics; it’s about saving lives, protecting both incarcerated people and correctional staff, and preventing taxpayers from footing the bill for unchecked abuses. Governor Hobbs asked for oversight. You delivered a bipartisan solution that fixes problems and saves lives.
Please stand firm and ensure SB 1507 remains fully funded in this year’s budget. Tell Governor Hobbs: No oversight, no budget. Fund and sign SB 1507 into law without delay.
Thank you for your leadership and for choosing people over politics.
Sincerely,
Voter/Concerned Citizen
