Come socialize and sign key ballot petitions

Come socialize and sign the petitions for these important measures! 

You are cordially invited to our “Sip and Sign” in support of four important petitions are being circulated in Arkansas on ballot measures that need your John Hancock! 

• Abortion Amendment - would permit abortions within 18 weeks of fertilization or in cases of rape, incest, fatal fetal anomalies or “to protect a pregnant female’s life or to protect a pregnant female from a physical disorder, physical illness, or physical injury.”
• Freedom of Information Act - strengthening access to public records and meetings
• Removing “Pink tax” - A proposal to exempt period products and diapers from local and state sales tax
• ForArKids - proposes that the state expand its obligation to maintain a “general, suitable, and efficient system of free public schools” to include universal access to pre-K and afterschool and summer programs, assistance to children who are within 200% of the federal poverty line and support services for students with disabilities’ individualized needs. To kick off our efforts to gather required signatures for these important measures, the Dem Club is holding a “Sip and Sign” happy hour:
