"I refuse to sign. I will not agree to be in DPS custody. I'm not a criminal. I am exercising my right to resist and oppose the decisions of our government. So this is my form of protest." - State Rep. Nicole Collier @fox7austin
Congratulations to Texas Moms Demand Action volunteer Liz Hanks for being named this year’s recipient of the Sue Brooks Award! Liz exemplifies a commitment to inclusion, equity and leadership development, and is leading efforts to expand our work in Texas to address the types of gun violence that is devastating communities there.
@GovAbbott Parents already have that 🙄. It’s called contacting the teacher/counselor/principal and having a conversation. Always had a positive, collaborative discussion when I asked for it. If parents are complaining, they aren’t trying.
@KeepGoing_TX@ehanks2208@MomsDemand Misdirecting anger and pain toward gvp advocates only helps extremists. Keep up the good fight my friends. This movement depends on the measured, wounded leaders within a traumatized country. 🧡
We just wrapped up a press conference w/coalition partners & champions pointing to state leaders’ refusal to prevent the next shooting as the anniversary of #Uvalde approaches tomorrow & the #txlege session ends in 6 days 🧵
How many more will it take? @DadePhelan@DanPatrick@GovAbbott We are an angry gun owning family! We have seen the active seems, watched children be buried, had you lie to our communities about change& families show you their children being buried in white. #dosomethingtx
I’m honored to be recognized as a Gun Sense Candidate by @MomsDemand.
I’m committed to protecting Houstonians from gun violence and am grateful to work with @MomsDemand on our mission for a safer Texas and nation.
The story of a mother who sprinted, barefoot, to Robb elementary and begged to sit with her murdered 10-yr old daughter so she wouldn't be alone.
Don't look away from this story. One year since Uvalde:
