Targets: Kyrsten Sinema and Mark Kelly

Ask: Both Arizona senators are blocking the PRO Act from coming to the floor for a vote by not co-sponsoring the bill. We need them to co-sponsor and champion the PRO Act so this pro-worker, pro-union bill can be passed.

Script

• Hi, My name is X and I live in X in AZ. The Senator has said they're on the side of Arizona workers, but still hasn't co-sponsored the PRO Act, which has made it impossible to move the bill forward. We need the senator to put their vote where their mouth is and co-sponsor the PRO Act. This bill is the most important piece of labor legislation this country has seen since the 1930s and we need it passed.

  • Feel free to tweak to put into your own words.

  • Mark Kelly has reportedly said his reason for not co-sponsoring the bill is a supposed policy of not endorsing measures that don’t also have Republican support. However, he has broken this policy in the past. Consider asking if he'll do it again for this bill. The PRO Act will benefit ALL Arizona working families, regardless of political party.

  • Kyrsten Sinema says her focus is representing Arizona workers and their families, but she famously voted down an increase in the federal minimum wage and refuses to consider any filibuster reform - the only credible path to pro-worker legislation like a living wage. Consider asking if she'll co-sponsor this bill to pave the way for us to fight for better wages and better working conditions for ourselves.
