Provided on-the-ground advocacy at the State Legislature to introduce anti-bullying legislation in the 2012 legislative session. When the bill failed to make it to the floor SBAZ organized a vigil at the state capitol with speakers and a performance program that garnered much media attention and nearly 200 attendees. The bill would have strengthened or closed gaps in anti-bullying laws in the State. Senator Katie Hobbs (D-24) sponsored the bill and it did not make it to bi-partisan discussion but was unceremoniously killed by Senate leadership by double assigning it to two subcommittees, a tactic used by lawmakers to ensure that a bill dies and does not move forward. The failure of that bill opened the door for many of the collaborations and programs we are developing now.
