Shante Saulsberry is a dedicated advocate who has tirelessly championed the rights of survivors of domestic violence and homelessness at the local level in Arizona. As the esteemed proprietor of Janice's Women Center, a distinguished non-profit women's center situated in the vibrant city of Phoenix, AZ, she has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to empowering and uplifting women in need. Shante Saulsberry, a distinguished individual, is not only a renowned published author but also a visionary podcaster. Through her literary works and captivating podcast, she tirelessly endeavors to shed light on the profound influence of mental health on the fabric of our daily existence. Shante Saulsberry, a dedicated advocate for the empowerment of women and children, has demonstrated an unyielding commitment to her cause. Her unwavering drive has propelled her to propose House Bill 2604 in 2022, a testament to her passion for achieving positive change in our society. Shante's unwavering dedication and tireless efforts have paved the way for remarkable achievements, including the significant amendment of sections 13-3602 and 13-3624 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. These crucial revisions have effectively addressed and improved the realm of Family Offenses, leaving an indelible impact on the legal landscape.
  • Despite being the backbone of our society, education needs more financing, mental health assistance, training, and resources. I want to improve the educational system for teachers, students, and parents by allocating more funding and implementing crucial training in behavioral health. I also support expanding educational possibilities for gifted and non-traditional learners.
  • Homelessness is an economic burden on our communities that hampers significant change. It would be naïve to think that simple economic changes could fix this immediately. Human lives are at risk, hence this topic must be tackled segment by segment. Everyone has a unique life story that led them to that industry, thus they deserve to be heard and helped. By understanding this relationship, we can work to reunite families and people with stable housing while avoiding the fundamental reason to prevent a repeat of the crisis.
  • The healthcare system represents a significant financial investment in this nation, those who cannot afford it are disproportionately affected. By ensuring the provision of affordable healthcare, this financial suffering can cease, and earlier access to treatment for severe illness will be established. By developing affordable programs for every household in Arizona, we can guarantee that healthcare is given the same level of importance as a family's utility bills in their daily life. Healthcare also encompasses two subfields that require substantial attention: women and LGBTQ+ individuals. These communities endure daily suffering for rights that are essentially their own decision to make.
As an unwavering supporter for accessible and accountable mental health care and support, I am deeply committed to upholding this crucial public policy. It aligns seamlessly with my core values and principles.
