We were proud to join @LUCHA_AZ, @opinorg, @OVOV_AZ, @CommonCause & partners this morning to remind the Maricopa Board of Supervisors & Recorder Justin Heap that they must protect every voter, count every vote, and certify the results regardless of who wins.
In their continued attack on workers, yesterday ICE shot 28 year old Wilber Rafael Garces Perez in Austin, Texas while he was driving for DoorDash.
