The next #specialsession has been announced. On the agenda: redistricting, mask mandates, and other restrictions that will further divide Texans.
Let's be clear: Texans want reliable electricity, #COVID protections, and fair representation. Not partisan games. #txpowerup #txlege
Texans don't want these laws.
Black and Brown Texans who have felt the brunt of #COVID and the fallout from the grid failure in February will be disparately affected by these new laws. We need access to the polls. We need our history. We deserve better ✊🏽 #txpowerup #txlege
This Texas Legislature passed the most restrictive and suppressive voter bill, the most restrictive abortion bill, on the brink of telling teachers what history to teach. But when it comes to Covid, no mandates, no legislation, just do the best you can. Texans deserve better. st
The Texas House has passed voter suppression bill #SB1.
It's time to end the 150-year history of voter suppression in Texas, not expand it. The voices of the millions of Texans of color are powerful and must be heard, not suppressed. #txpowerup #txlege
In honor of the #SB1 hearing today, here’s a reminder that Texans don’t want this bill. 🙃
We want EXPANDED voting rights, not limited voting rights. ✊🏽🗣🗳 #txlege #txpowerup
Quorum has been restored in the Texas House, which means voter suppression and censoring Black, Brown, Asian, and Native American history can move forward in the special session. #txlege #txpowerup
Lawmakers: Texans don't want racism and discrimination. We want our voices heard.
After a brave 15 hour filibuster by @CarolforTexas, voter suppression bill #SB1 has passed the Texas Senate.
The bill will head to the Texas House, which still doesn't have quorum as House Democrats avoid arrest.
The fight's not over, amigxs 😤 #txpowerup #txlege
. @CarolforTexas just ended her 14 hour filibuster of voter suppression legislation #SB1. She explained in great detail how the bill would affect every day Texans.
Thank you @CarolforTexas for protecting the freedom to vote for millions of Texans of color✊🏽🗣 #txlege #txpowerup

“We're here, our numbers are here, we're powerful, we're diverse and we're not going to back down.”
Jolt Executive Director Gloria Gonzales-Dholakia, PhD., on the Voting Rights Advocacy Day event attended by scores of young Texas voters. #txpowerup https://t.co/gmxnUSUzDq

"I’m here today to tell everyone in this building that I’m a young Latina, I'm powerful, and that my community and I won't back down." - Itzel Ramirez
This is what democracy looks like. Our voices matter. Our votes matter. We won't back down. #txpowerup
4/ So today, young activists and organizations across Texas including @CCauseTexas @texrising @MOVE_texas @ProgressTX and many more are meeting at the Capitol for a Voting Rights Advocacy Day. We won't sit by silently while our freedom to vote is debated again in TX. #txpowerup
3/ The TX Constitution requires ⅔ of lawmakers to be present for a session to continue, so the Governor and his followers are pressuring House Dems to return to Texas.
We should SPEAK UP and support this courageous act from House Dems to protect our freedom to vote. #txpowerup
