Advancing opportunity for Texas families
Chair @RepRamonRomero

[Cassandra Garcia Hernandez @CasforTX]

Now more than ever, our community is relying on us not just to speak out, but to show up.

We cannot afford to look away or stay silent. We must meet this moment with courage, because too much is at stake.

Today, it’s our businesses, our families, and our safety. Tomorrow, it will be something more. Rights and freedoms are rarely taken all at once - they are chipped away piece by piece, only when people allow it.

We must organize. We must mobilize. We must fight for one another. And we will carry that fight all the way to November and beyond.

As Sylvia always said, “Hasta la victoria” (“Until victory”). ✊ #txlege #hd115

MALC and business owners sound the alarm on Texas DMV and DPS rule changes. Watch Rep. Hernandez, Rep. Romero and Rep. Anchia talk about how this impacts our state. #txlege

[MALC @MALCTx]

Watch Chairman Romero speak on how public school families have been affected by immigration policy, and the consequences it will have on state funding. #txlege #tribcast  #txeducation

[MALC @MALCTx]

With bipartisan support, the Dignity Act has been proposed by Rep. María Elvira Salazar (R-FL) & Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-TX) and aims to be a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.

Learn more about the bill's possible impact. #immigration

[MALC @MALCTx]

The coordinated effort to challenge Plyler v. Doe threatens public education protections for undocumented children and echoes a painful chapter in Texas history, when Latino students faced discrimination in public schools.

Watch Chairman Romero discuss what’s at stake. #txlege

[MALC @MALCTx]

We would like to wish Rep. J. M. Lozano a Happy Birthday! May this year bring even more happiness and joy. #txlege

[MALC @MALCTx]

Texas public schools lost 76,000 students in ONE year.

Schools are being underfunded and stretched thin. When funding is tied to attendance, declining enrollment means fewer teachers, fewer resources, and more school closures.

We must protect public education. #txlege

Still two days left to Early Vote, Texas! Check your county website for more details about your local Texas Primary Runoff Election and what's on your ballot. & if you're not able to this weekend, remember the election is this Tuesday, May 26! #txlege #txelections

Plyler v. Doe (1982) guarantees free K-12 education for ALL children, regardless of immigration status. ⚖️  However, state officials have claimed to take aim at challenging this precedent. Swipe to read MALC Chair @RepRamonRomero’s response on the issue in the NYT.

[NHCSL - Nat’l Hispanic Caucus of State Legislators @NHCSL]

Celebrating the launch of the new Bipartisan U.S.-Mexico Congressional Caucus by Rep. @JoaquinCastrotx and @RepRudyYakym. This is a timely and important initiative to strengthen one of our Nation’s most vital relationships. Our shared future depends on cooperation in trade, security, energy, and cultural ties.
A special shoutout to former Amb. @NathalieRayes for her vision and leadership in helping make this possible! 🇺🇸🇲🇽

[MALC @MALCTx]

Today, we have the honor of celebrating two incredible leaders who have paved the way for progress. Join us in wishing a very Happy Birthday to:

Representative Mary Ann Perez (@repmaryannperez) and the late Representative Irma Lerma Rangel.

Last week, MALC headed to South TX for our Inaugural Skeet Shoot, expanding our reach into an important economic sector of our state. We are grateful to partners who participated in support of our mission to uplift the most underserved communities. #LaLuchaSigue #txlege

[MALC @MALCTx]

The Federal Courts recently approved Senate Bill 4 to go into effect within the state of Texas, following an appeals ruling in April. After several legal attempts to block the ruling, find out more about what this means for our state. #txlege #immigration

[MALC @MALCTx]

MALC stands with Yenniffer England’s family in calling for transparency, accountability, and her immediate release. Cases like hers highlight the ongoing harm caused by the lack of permanent protections for DACA recipients and the consequences for families across Texas. #txlege

[MALC @MALCTx]

As TX industries grow, we will need more workers to help build those facilities and maintain them. We shouldn’t be detaining people who are doing everything right and following the legal process to become citizens.

We should be fast-tracking them to vetted, legal status. #txlege

[MALC @MALCTx]

Texas ICE arrests rank highest across the United States under the Trump administration. Many immigrants are being detained mid-application - even if they are doing it the "right" way, the path is unclear and is leaving them vulnerable.

Today SCOTUS ruled in Louisiana v. Callais, striking down Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, the nation’s safeguard against racially discriminatory maps & voting laws. This marks a sweeping retreat from protections that have shielded voters for nearly 60 years. #txlege

Immigration is key to our success as a state as we continue to grow our infrastructure. We can't deny the real value our immigrant communities create. #txlege
