THREAD 🧵What comes next for #SB7, the massive #txlege voter suppression omnibus bill: Texas voting rights advocates and defenders of democracy are waiting to see if SB 7 goes to a legislative Conference Committee. What does that mean? 👇🏽

[MOVE Texas @MOVE_texas]

Senate Bill 7, House Bill 6, and more than 50 restrictive anti-voter bills are moving in the Texas Legislature.

We can stop these restrictive voting measures by joining together to ensure lawmakers know - Voter Suppression has no place in Texas

“The pension is a huge deal. We work hard for our money. And I think it’s fair to expect that at the end of our career, our money will work for us. If it’s not fully funded, how is that going to happen?," said AFSCME Correctional Officer Terry Garbs.

“A pay raise would mean more staff. Right now, due to the low pay a lot of people are not staying at the facilities because they cannot sustain their families," said Anum Shelter, a Correctional Officer IV who lives and works in Palestine. #TXLege https://t.co/KF9na0TaxW

Texas AFL-CIO President, Rick Levy, and his message for Working Texas Families on Budget Day 2019. #txbudget #1u

[Texas AFL-CIO @TexasAFLCIO]

Another budget priority today! When Texans go to work, they should get paid a fair wage -- and one job should be enough! #txbudget

[Texas AFL-CIO @TexasAFLCIO]

Today is budget! We demand the legislature votes for a budget that gives workers a fair shot - making it easier for working people to live a good, dignified life here in Texas. Make expanding access to healthcare a priority today.

AFSCME corrections employees in Texas are fighting for a pay increase because they work grueling hours in tough conditions -- and yet many of them are resorting to working a second job to pay their bills. #TXLege https://t.co/Gotpw0oYxV
