Arizona, Take Action against SB1411: mailchi.mp/a30ce7a2b8c2/s…


In Arizona, Senate Bill 1411 (SB1411) would grant parents guardianship of their children on their 18th birthday if their child is in DDD. Arizona APSE is against this legislation and believes it takes away fundamental rights. statement: azapse.org/ef-in-action/
