The @TexasAFLCIO and the labor movement support full inclusion and dignity of all people and oppose the vicious discrimination by @GovAbbott and @KenPaxtonTX. Trans rights are human rights are labor rights. @CWA6186 @EqualityTexas @PrideatWork

🧵Kaylyn Richards a Union organizer, is a whistleblower hero. On March 9, 2022, she reported to her @amazon supervisor that there was shards of glass inside the tilipia on the meat tray. Kaylyn saved lives. However, the next day Kaylyn was unlawfully terminated by Amazon.

@dallasnews @TexasDFPS @CWA6186 "There are so many things that the governor and DFPS should be focused on without targeting trans kids and their families to score political points," Tyler Sheldon from CPS union tells @TexasDFPS council.

@dallasnews @TexasDFPS Tyler Sheldon from @CWA6186, union which represents CPS workers, says the state's order makes child welfare agents go against their ethical, moral and professional standards. #txlege #LGBT #LGBTQ

[TSEU @CWA6186]

TSEU Legislative Director @Tylert2345: “Our members are being asked to violate longstanding code of ethics.” DFPS employees have been investigated under Abbott’s directive—all to draw attention away from the CWOP crisis and the sex abuse allegations at state-funded facilities.

[Aviv Rau @AvivRau]

CPS workers: If your supervisor tells you this, get in touch with our union, @CWA6186, ASAP!

[Lauren McGaughy @lmcgaughy]

Wow. In court hearing, CPS supervisor says her boss told her not to put *anything* about cases investigating gender-affirming care for trans kids in emails, texts, etc.

Being told not to put things in writing has never happened before and is "unethical," she says. #txlege

[TSEU @CWA6186]

(CW: Suicide) Many parents here—and people reading statements from parents too terrified to be here today—painfully recall their trans children’s suicide attempts. Gender-affirming care is a lifesaving treatment.

[Texas Freedom Network @TFN]

As the TX DFPS hearing is happening, there is also a court hearing on the suit brought by @LambdaLegal and @ACLUTx seeking a statewide injunction that would block investigations of families with transgender children.

You can watch that live here: https://t.co/HFuurMlrPo

[Lauren McGaughy @lmcgaughy]

Follow me today for coverage of the lawsuit seeking to block CPS investigations of families providing transition care for their trans kids.

I’m also @TexasDFPS this morning for it’s board meeting. Lots of people here.

It’s a packed hearing room at the TX Dept of Family and Protective Services today.

We’re here with partners to testify in support of transgender kids and the families who support them 🏳️‍⚧️

[Daniel Gross @dgorganize]

It's not what will the union do for us. It's what will we do through our union.

[TSEU @CWA6186]

🧵THREAD🧵 We’re livetweeting the DFPS Council Meeting in Austin this morning, where @CWA6186 members and countless others from @ACLUTx, @EqualityTexas, @TFN, @LambdaLegal, and other organizations will provide public comment. Stay tuned!

[TSEU @CWA6186]

More devastating news from DFPS. Privatization is putting kids in harm's way.

[TSEU @CWA6186]

🚨ACTION ALERT🚨 Come join us tomorrow morning to pack the DFPS hearing room and support trans kids!

[Aviv Rau @AvivRau]
