We’ve Got Issues

On this episode of We've Got Issues we discussed the Arizona Primary, New SCOTUS decisions, and our Rent is Too High Campaign!

It may seem like nothing is going our way after the latest SCOTUS decisions, and all of the attacks on our democracy but that is why is so crucial to be an informed and knowledgeable voter. Voting while being informed is a tool we have and need to utilize! This impacts us in so many ways, especially on a local level. Being informed and voting on what helps your community will help us in this fight for affordable housing.

Fuerte Network presents S3E1 of We've Got Issues. Doug Ducey gave his last state of the state! He gave us little to no hope that he will use his time left in office to help Arizonans but instead line the pockets of his rich friends.

Dominique Medina and Melina Jacqueline Fonseca are back to talk about the issues that we face here in Arizona on a daily basis. We get a special message from out Arizona Billionaires, and introduce the Moderate Pixie Dream Girls! State Budget, immigration and Policing are all issues we tackle this week.

In this episode, we discuss the tons of bills negatively impacting Arizonans, how our Senator is (happily) voting against our interests, and Gov. Ducey is hanging out at the Border. Arizona, We’ve Got Issues.
