In 2006, Arizona became the first and only state to defeat an
anti-marriage equality ballot initiative. Rep. Sinema led the Arizona
Together campaign that defeated Proposition 107, which would have
banned the recognition of same-sex marriages and civil unions in
Arizona. She will lead a discussion on lessons from the historic
campaign.
Rep. Sinema, a native Arizonan, is a progressive legislator working in
a conservative state legislature. She's worked with Governor Janet
Napolitano (D-AZ) (now Secretary of Homeland Security) and Governor
Jan Brewer (R-AZ). In her first book "Unite and Conquer," Sinema
shares lessons from these campaigns and national ones to show
citizens, activists, and politicians how assemble broad-based
coalitions advance progressive causes.
