Welcome to Texas 👋
Our Executive Director’s got some thoughts on what it means to organize in a state like ours, where the politics are tough, but young people are tougher.
Give it a read and see how we keep showing up, no matter what.
It's 8pm, and @BucyForTexas just gave a masterclass indicting a voter suppression bill.
HB3557 claims to be about stopping noncitizens from voting (which is already illegal).
Rep. Bucy makes it clear––Texas citizens, especially women, will be hurt by hurdles built by this bill.
Today, we’re proud to endorse Shannon Taylor for attorney general of Virginia. From her years of service as a prosecutor, she has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to justice, and we know as attorney general she will continue to fight for the people of Virginia.
⚠️ This week, the Department for Education proposed an unfunded 2.8% pay rise for teachers.
Make no mistake: this means further cuts for our schools.
This unfunded expense will throw a wrecking ball into many school budgets.
Here’s why: ⬇️

Right now, thousands of hours of classes are covered by staff without the right qualifications. It’s not fair to staff or students.
It doesn't have to be this way.
Sign the petition: every child should be taught by a qualified teacher. https://t.co/K9RQh9hTW7

In bittersweet news, I’ll be leaving the @RepCasar team at the end of the year to head back to Texas & join the folks at @TexasAFLCIO!
There’s lots to say, but right now I’m focused on helping Team Casar find a stellar new Comms Director.

As the mom of a trans kid, I’d ask that you think about the fact that when you blame support for trans people for the loss of the election - instead of the hate fomented by the $143 million spent on anti-trans ads - you endanger the safety of a whole bunch of innocent people.
