House Bill 1020 is a plan that increases policing, strips voting and political power away from the majority Black citizens of Jackson, and diverts tax dollars away from communities in need.

"...You cannot take away the freedom, the liberty, the equality that the right to abortion has granted over the past 50 years, [and] the ways that it has meaningfully changed people’s lives. There are certain things that cannot be undone." https://t.co/aCtWMnnfoo

BREAKING: The Texas Supreme Court blocked our injunction, allowing a total abortion ban originally passed in 1925 to be enforced.

This law has already forced countless people to carry pregnancies against their will.

Abortion is our right — no matter what the courts say.

[ACLU of Texas @ACLUTx]

We are outraged the Supreme Court has overturned 50 years of precedent. People in Texas have already felt the consequences of radical abortion restrictions.

With this decision, Texas will face a total ban on abortion if the trigger law here goes into effect next month. 🧵

Know your rights and make sure those around you do as well. ✊

If Greg Abbott can call three special sessions to keep people from voting, surely he can call a special session to keep babies from being murdered in their classrooms.

BREAKING: A Louisiana judge's ruling just blocked the CDC from ending Title 42 on May 23 as planned.

Title 42 has caused enormous harm to people seeking safety. Continuing to manipulate this public health law is beyond cruel.

Proud to speak about our work on securing abortion rights and equity alongside phenomenal leaders like @LibertyLouise @HumanitarianDip @lorelkho and @michelebgoodwin at the @ACLU Biennial Leadership Conference. Inspired by my amazing colleagues across the country!

This is big

[ACLU of Texas @ACLUTx]

BREAKING: Good news! The highest criminal court in Texas clarified that the State was required to prove Crystal Mason actually knew she was ineligible to vote in 2016. Her case is heading back to the Court of Appeals for further consideration.

Our fight for justice is not over.

I’m so happy to welcome Dominique and Mary to our team!

[ACLU of Texas @ACLUTx]

It's been a busy month but we couldn't let another day pass without officially sharing that our ACLU of Texas team has grown! Please join us in welcoming Dominique Huerta and Mary Ibarra 🎉

[ACLU @ACLU]

Public libraries let us encounter new ideas, explore different perspectives, and learn to think for ourselves. The government can’t take books off shelves because it disagrees with the viewpoints they express or wants to discount experiences they discuss. https://t.co/ORVKWoJX61
