A large group of progressives gathered at Civic Space Park in downtown Phoenix early Thursday evening where speakers and attendees urged Sen. Kyrsten Sinema and Sen. Mark Kelly to end the filibuster.
Sinema has said she doesn t support ending the filibuster a tactic used in the Senate to delay or block floor votes on bills without a 60-person majority while Mark Kelly has been less public about his thoughts on the matter.
Approximately a couple hundred people gathered in the park around 5:30 p.m. where democratic lawmakers and local activists urged the two moderate democrats to end the filibuster and open up opportunities for new bills being passed with a slim majority.

PHOENIX â A day after Governor Doug Ducey signed a contentious election bill, which may remove more than 100,000 voters from the active early voting rolls, voting rights activists said they will now take their fight to Congress.
âThis bill is simple, itâs all about election integrity,â the Governor said on Twitter, but Pastor Warren H Stewart Sr. of the African American Christian Clergy Coalition, a group that represents more than 100 churches said the bill is all about who voted in 2020.

About a dozen neo-Nazis gathered in Phoenix April 17. It was a relatively uneventful 30 minutes of a few people marching around Eastlake Park and yelling racial slurs.
âGiven how precarious this situation could have been, this represents quite a victory against hate,â said Paul Rockower, executive director of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Phoenix.
Community leaders say the group came looking to spread its message, but the rally instead showed a community unified against hate.
The JCRC formed a coalition with 26 other groups â including the African American Christian Clergy Coalition, the Chinese American Citizens Alliance, the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Arizona, the Valley Interfaith Project and the Phoenix Holocaust Association â to deny the neo-Nazis their goals of attention and amplification, Rockower said.
