I’m proud to join the ACLU of TX board. Our rights are being attacked left and right, but @aclutx is working everyday to fight for us, protect our rights, and defend our civil liberties.
We’ve welcomed four new leaders to our Board of Directors this year who bring a wealth of experience in the legal, nonprofit, and government sectors.
Meet our new directors! https://t.co/wMRiGb2403
Today, Texas enacts the most restrictive abortion law in the nation.
As Attorney General, I will stand up for our right to choose if, when, or how to start a family. I'll work with Lt. Governor @CollierForTexas to restore access to abortion care.
Join the fight for all Texans.

Happy #FathersDay to my dad, Commissioner Roy Charles Brooks, on @wfaa Inside Texas Politics today discussing his gun violence resolution that was just adopted by the GOP-majority Tarrant County Commissioners Court. How?Unanimously. #txlege

Black history is Texas history.
In 1963, these Black Texans marched on our state capitol in Austin demanding their basic human rights. (That's Granddaddy at the end, firing up the crowd in his inimitable style.) In 2022, the fight has not changed.

Seriously, y’all - go vote. Early vote is NOW for Texas statewide, Congressional, and county runoff races. Election Day is May 24. The people trying to suppress your vote and convince you your voice doesn’t matter know exactly how powerful you are. #GoVote#TXDeservesBetter
Texans won’t stand for an overturning of Roe. We have the power to demand leadership that protects our rights. #TXDeservesBetter#txlege https://t.co/567p4bW9TO

@texasdemocrats has sent our letter notifying the DNC Rules & Bylaws Committee, on which I serve, that Texas would like to host our primary in the early window in 2024. This is just the beginning of the process…
Early voting for the May 24th primary runoff elections runs May 16th through May 20th.
(And yes, scattering these elections all over the calendar is a voter suppression tactic. Let’s make sure it doesn’t work.) 4/4.
It’s never been more clear that elections matter.
Striking Roe will not, by itself, ban abortion. Striking Roe will mean that our *elected* leaders can ban abortion. 1/
In Texas, today is the last day of early vote for the May 7th election – there are Texas Constitutional Amendments on the ballot, plus local ordinances and local candidates depending on where you are in the state. 3/
