Episode Description

The future of diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI, in Arizona will be on the November ballot with Proposition 142, which would amend the state constitution to prohibit race-based programs and positions.

The Goldwater Institute is a key supporter of Prop 142. The conservative think tank argues that the constitutional amendment would ensure equal opportunity in Arizona.

For faith-based advocacy group Lutheran Advocacy Ministry in Arizona, or LAMA, part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Prop 142 ignores realities of actual inequity in Arizona.
