General Election November 2024 10 ADVOCATE | FALL 2024 Statewide Propositions PROP 134 — VOTE NO Under Proposition 134, if an initiative gets 1,000,000 signatures but fails to hit a small number in one part of the state, all of those other signatures are invalid. If Proposition 134 passes, it will become even harder to pass pro-education ballot initiatives in the future. PROP 136 — VOTE NO Would open the door for wealthy corporations to bury a ballot initiative they don't like in lawsuits while the initiative is still struggling just to gather signatures. If Proposition 136 passes, it will become even harder to pass pro-education ballot initiatives in the future. PROP 137 — VOTE NO Proposition 137 would limit democracy by essentially ending the practice of voting on judges. It would apply retroactively, canceling all Arizonans' votes on judges this election cycle. If it passes, it will be impossible to hold justices accountable for biased, overly partisan rulings like striking down Invest in Ed and reimposing Arizona's total abortion ban. PROP 138 — VOTE NO Proposition 138 is a misleading initiative pushed by the restaurant owners and other corporate interests. If it passes, tipped workers will see their wages cut. PROP 139 — VOTE YES As a union, we fight for dignity and respect for workers on and off the job. Part of that is ensuring access to reproductive healthcare, including abortion. Proposition 139 will protect abortion rights for all Arizonans. PROP 314 — VOTE NO Proposition 314 would have a deeply negative impact on us as educators and on our students and communities. Under this measure, we could see immigration raids on school campuses, even during school hours. is is also an unfunded mandate that could cost Arizonans millions—money that would be better spent on schools, parks and other public services.
