Arizonans Unite: Call on Valleywise Health to Pledge No Taxpayer Funds for Transgender Programs
Prop 409 provides $898 million in bonds to expand Valleywise facilities—but without safeguards, it risks fueling growth in what some view as harmful transgender treatments that many Arizonans oppose. Join thousands demanding a public commitment: No taxpayer funds will benefit or expand its transgender programs or practices, directly or indirectly. Sign below to protect taxpayer dollars and promote transparency.

The Issue
Valleywise promotes what many view as experimental transgender practices, including cross-sex hormones to suppress and change the biological sex characteristics of adults at community centers targeted for expansion in Prop 409.
CAP objects: The Cass Review in 2024 found no reliable evidence for mental health benefits from affirming gender confusion in children and teens, and there are no clinical studies on gender dysphoria that contradict that finding. Instead, these experimental interventions can leave recipients sterile and create lifelong medical dependencies.
Funding loophole: When an organization receives $898 million in infrastructure funding, it fundamentally changes its capacity and frees existing resources for other potential purposes, such as transgender programs.
Why This Matters to Arizonan Taxpayers
We support Valleywise’s vital work in emergency care and serving vulnerable populations—but taxpayers deserve guardrails against funding practices manyconsider harmful and driven by gender ideology.
Our Ask
Public pledge:
- No Prop 409 bond funds to benefit or expand transgender programs, directly or indirectly.
- No taxpayer money for these potentially harmful, unproven practices, including contracting for medical staff who provide them.
