Humanitarian at heart. 💛

HB 655 is not a solution! The bill excludes #students from schools, exposes them to law enforcement, and further deteriorates social-emotional learning, which can lead to more issues. See our action alert and help us STOP this bill: https://t.co/QUShJsS1gR #txlege

Climate change's effects on tenants and housing was a major focal point of our recent Constitutional Congress. Today, we are joining with @weststrecovery to call on @txglo to stop cheating us out of money to prevent future disasters. #FundFloodJustice

The same SCOTUS that said yesterday that states don’t have the ability to regulate guns today gave states the power to regulate women’s bodies.

This thread will be dedicated to the victims of the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas.

As a parent, my heart is broken seeing these faces and their ages.

My condolences to their families during this difficult time 🙏🏻

Xavier Lopez, 10. He was a 4th grader at Robb Elementary.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

School shootings are not fucking acts of nature, like hurricanes and tornadoes. They're man-made acts of inaction, of cowardice, of corruption by all lawmakers who refuse to pass laws PROVEN BY DATA to stop preventable, senseless shootings like in Uvalde.

Housing and Employment access, which bars access to safety and good wages. Even if they find employers to hire them, they are often limited in the fields they can enter, due to occupational licensing restrictions. Impacting 4 in 10 Texans with an arrest record #CleanSlateTownHall

[Texas Appleseed @TexasAppleseed]

Many calls to 911 can be answered by trained medical & mental health professionals instead of armed police officers. This practice is less costly & has shown to be effective in avoiding criminal charges. Is your city or county funding efforts like this? https://t.co/sDmRyyNpj9

[Deborah Fowler @Debfowler70]

So grateful to @keribla and @MauriceChammah for this piece. We @TexasAppleseed know that TJJD's secure facilities contribute to recidivism (rather than rehabilitate) because @CSGJC's "Closer to Home" research proved it. https://t.co/oEOR3gPwOo

Another impact of the pandemic: social & emotional distress for students.
“There has to be ... grace and compassion ... extended to young people who have lived through the world since March 2020,” - @AndrewRHairston.

@COSAGOV will save jail resources that can be spend in other community needs such as housing and health services, so this is why a #CiteandRelease ordinance matters!

[Travis County TX @TravisCountyTX]

🚨 URGENT action needed!

The 11 county Trauma Service Region O (TSA-O), which includes Austin and Travis County, now has about 16 staffed ICU beds available. That's 16 ICU beds for 11 counties with over 2.3 million residents ❗

@brennangriffin Watching Loki right now and it couldn't resonate more 🤣

[Texas Appleseed @TexasAppleseed]

Homelessness in Austin decreased in 2021 according to a new report from @atxecho. Using a more accurate methodology than the Point in Time Counts, ECHO estimates there are more unhoused #Austinites than before, but their numbers fell compared to last year. https://t.co/JRRGPtLBLh

[Grassroots Law Texas @GrassrootsLawTX]

The Texas legislature is pushing a bill that would punish cities who reduce police spending.

We can't let them set a precedent that it's okay to overturn the authority of local governments to set their own police budgets.

Call 512-883-8959 to demand that #HB1900 be stopped NOW.

[Texas Appleseed @TexasAppleseed]

HB 3660 creates a system focused on rehabilitation & moves away from a punitive system that imposes fines, fees & harmful criminal records on #Texas youth. Contact Chair @whitmire_john TODAY 5/17 before 5PM. Help get HB 3660 a hearing tomorrow!: https://t.co/WyycEcAZEG #txlege
