Last fall, @MOVE_texas mobilized thousands of TxST students to vote on campus. When we saw record turnout and 4+ hr waits, how did we respond? We shuttled ppl to nearby polls. How did Rep Isaac respond? With this 🚮 bill.
We might be used to this, but we’re not accepting it. ✊
New: a bill has been filed in Texas to prohibit counties from putting a polling place at a college or university.
It follows another bill filed earlier that would require counties to put a certain # of polling places on college campuses depending on enrollment size.
San Antonio: 2 million dollars vs. 38,000 + signatures. Police union money vs. democratically adopted public safety. Minor measures towards non-carceral justice vs. a hyperbolic propaganda campaign spreading absurdist fear of social collapse.
I spy puppies, young voters, young organizers, and block walkers 🫡🗳️🤭
The REAL faces of those strengthening our democracy 💯
Get out and vote for community today and relish in the joy democracy should be 🥳
TODAY: We are going LIVE on Instagram w/ Ananda from the @JusticeCharter to talk about #PropA on OUR ballot and what we are up against. Tomorrow is #ElectionDay, an opportunity for us to decide if San Antonio will choose economic freedom, a fair shot at life, and a thriving city.
Have y'all seen the AMAZING artwork created by one of @MOVE_texas' Spring 2023 National Artists of Texas Fellow Lucia Conchas?! Thank you for using your art to encourage a powerful message!
HAPPENING NOW: -- The San Antonio Justice Charter coalition is holding a press conference to speak about motivations and tactics that have been used by multiple parties to mislead and lie to voters to convince them to vote against Prop A.

🚨BAD BILL ALERT🚨
Tomorrow at 8 AM, the House Elections Committee is holding a hearing on SB 1039. This is one of many bills aimed at stripping power and control over elections from local communities, giving it to Governor Abbott.

Over 80% of registered TX voters live in counties that use the Countywide Polling Place Program.
The SOS’s office testified that there hasn’t been any consistent issues attributed to this program.
YET the #txlege is actively working to take away a good, popular voting option.

At MOVE Texas, we support grassroots democracy. The San Antonio Justice Charter is a prime example of people power in action. We encourage San Antonio Voters to vote for Proposition A this May.
Mayor Ron Nirenberg is wrong to encourage local voters to oppose this measure.
(1/2)📢 DID YOU KNOW that cite and release programs have been in practice in San Antonio since 2019? And contrary to what some may believe, it’s not a free pass for petty crimes. Offenders are still held accountable for their actions and required to pay for their theft/damages.
We are honored to have the support of one the greatest advocates to ever come out of San Antonio, Councilwoman Rosie Castro.
Because of leaders like her, we are inspired to push San Antonio forward. Be like Rosie and Vote FOR Prop A!
Hey all I’m starting a thread with receipts of all city & county officials SUDDENLY against cite & release after supporting it FOR YEARS. Apparently money in their pocket for campaigns is more important than their own morality & their community’s lives
Our statement on the @JusticeCharter:
San Antonio’s shared Community Vision makes clear that public safety requires living wages, affordable housing, reliable transportation, clean air, a high-quality education, healthcare, institutional accountability, and racial equity. (1/4)
