Welcome to Texas 👋 Our Executive Director’s got some thoughts on what it means to organize in a state like ours, where the politics are tough, but young people are tougher. Give it a read and see how we keep showing up, no matter what.
"In Texas, it often feels like we’re losing. But in reality, we have been slowly winning in hostile territory." For COURIER, Claudia Yoli Ferla of @MOVE_Texas unpacks how Texans have been fighting back against Project 2025-like efforts for decades. couriernewsroom.com/news/cla…

It's 8pm, and @BucyForTexas just gave a masterclass indicting a voter suppression bill. HB3557 claims to be about stopping noncitizens from voting (which is already illegal). Rep. Bucy makes it clear––Texas citizens, especially women, will be hurt by hurdles built by this bill.

Today, we’re proud to endorse Shannon Taylor for attorney general of Virginia. From her years of service as a prosecutor, she has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to justice, and we know as attorney general she will continue to fight for the people of Virginia.

⚠️ This week, the Department for Education proposed an unfunded 2.8% pay rise for teachers. Make no mistake: this means further cuts for our schools. This unfunded expense will throw a wrecking ball into many school budgets. Here’s why: ⬇️

Right now, thousands of hours of classes are covered by staff without the right qualifications. It’s not fair to staff or students. It doesn't have to be this way. Sign the petition: every child should be taught by a qualified teacher. actionnetwork.org/petitions/…

In bittersweet news, I’ll be leaving the @RepCasar team at the end of the year to head back to Texas & join the folks at @TexasAFLCIO! There’s lots to say, but right now I’m focused on helping Team Casar find a stellar new Comms Director. Details: casar.house.gov/jobs

Impressive the number of Austin-based story lines in this election, all of them involving the worst people the city has to offer.

A classic Texas Dems story: don't try until Oct, fight with your hands tied behind your back, and then say the strategy - that you didn't use - didn't work. Way past time for the chair to resign and a new generation of leaders to take control of this party that we need to win.
I spoke with the chairman of the Texas Democratic Party today about yesterday’s losses. He brought up transgender rights. Here’s what he said. kut.org/2024-11-06/donald-tr… #txlege #LGBT #LGBTQ #Election2024

Also I hate post-election back seat quarterbacking, but like - this is just plainly bullshit not rooted in fact and will have serious consequences to the civil rights of the people who need us the most.
