[🤠 Texas Rising Action ↗️ @texrising]

Over in El Paso, we're eager to endorse David Stout for re-election to El Paso County Commissioner in Precinct 2.

Stout has shown a deep understanding of what El Paso County and its people need to thrive. #txraction⚡

[Texas Freedom Network @TFN]

From El Paso to Houston—and everywhere in-between. Abortion advocates gathered in front of Federal Courthouses across the state to rally for abortion rights. While yesterday was a powerful moment for our communities, this fight is far from over. #BansOffOurBodies

[Texas Rising UTEP @texrisingutep]

me (an empath) sensing that the texas gop probably doesn’t care if we vote OR get covid tested

[Texas GOP @TexasGOP]

If you can wait in line for a covid test, you can wait in line to vote.

#UndocuWeek 2021 is approaching! Check out the events and workshops YDSA at UTEP has prepared to celebrate and uplift the voices and experiences of our Undocumented student community.

In collaboration with @MonarchsOnStEds @ATXLARA @LasAmericasIAC @texrisingutep

[Justicia Fronteriza PAC @JFronteriza]

We stand with undocumented immigrants. Democrats cannot allow a single person - the parliamentarian - to block a pathway to citizenship for 8 million undocumented immigrants. We've waited 35 yrs for immigration reform. The time for action is now. Text Pathway to 877877

Come join us to demand that Joe Biden and Congress work to create a pathway to citizenship for 11 million undocumented people ✊ #HereToStay

[TENT @TransTexas]

Today marks 10 months of Texans having to fight for dignity and humanity at #txlege. Today it only took the reps in the Calendars Committee 57 seconds to vote out HB25.
Call Speaker Dade Phelan. Remind him why ppl are moving away and dying, and who is responsible at 512-463-1000

[Texas Freedom Network @TFN]

Miners ⛏️, come by Union Plaza today on #NationalVoterRegistrationDay and @texrisingutep will help you register to vote!

[Texas Civil Rights Project @TXCivilRights]

This new map is full of the same old tricks. It limits Latinx communities' ability to elect candidates of their choice in El Paso, the Rio Grande Valley, and the Nueces County/Corpus Christi area.

[Jessica Cisneros @JCisnerosTX]

You’ve seen the gross pictures.

Please consider uplifting the work and/or donating to @HaitianBridge, an excellent organization composed of Haitian/Haitian Americans doing the advocacy work for their immigrant community.

[Texas Rising at UT @texrisingut]

Over the weekend and into yesterday, our team showed up to tell the legislature two things:

No gerrymandering and no attacks on trans kids. #txlege

[Rey @gringatears]

Last week, my friend was in emotional distress and sought support from UTEP counseling department. She asked to speak to a counselor but instead of receiving therapeutic de-escalation and help, she was criminalized for being a Black woman in crisis.

[Texas Rising UTEP @texrisingutep]

We now ask that Speaker Phelan and the Texas GOP stop pushing racist bills

[Eva Ruth Moravec @EvaRuth]

Again reminding representatives to be respectful during the floor debate for #SB1, Speaker Phelan has now asked members to avoid using the word "racism" today #txlege

[City of El Paso @ElPasoTXGov]

The City has been granted the Temporary Restraining Order against TX Gov. Greg Abbott that would support the City-County Health Authority’s proposal to issue a mask mandate for all indoor facilities.
The Local Health Authority Order takes effect at 12:01am Wed., Aug. 18, 2021.

[Texas Tribune @TexasTribune]

El Paso County residents must wear masks in many indoor spaces like schools and businesses under a new countywide mandate — the latest major Texas metro to defy Gov. Greg Abbott’s ban on local mask orders. https://t.co/KXm77k6AWN
