It's been an incredible four years, Flippable community! While we're saying goodbye, our work isn't done. We're proud of all that we've accomplished in the states since 2016, and we look forward to continuing—only now through @swingleft. Join us: swingleft.org

Michelle Beckley @ForHD65, Texas State Representative and Flippable alum, wants to make voting easier for Texans. Her latest bill does just that, by allowing voters in Denton County to cast their vote at any polling location in the county. #txlege bit.ly/2WrL8y0

Texas leads the country in the number of uninsured people, but still hasn't expanded Medicaid during this pandemic.
We’re so proud to have supported 2018 Flippable alum @BucyForTexas, who hasn’t stopped fighting for Medicaid expansion since his first day in office. #txlege

Last week, Michigan state lawmakers approved a plan to finance the proposed $600-million-plus payment to partially settle claims between the state and residents of Flint over contaminated drinking water.
Now the settlement awaits approval from this judge. bit.ly/3axlsIv

Texas State Rep. and Flippable alum @jamestalarico is putting students first by providing schools with the funding needed to improve mental-health support. His bill is especially important during a pandemic that is threatening the emotional well-being of so many young people.

Kids aren’t just suffering academically, they’re suffering emotionally.
I’ve filed HB 332 to open up millions of $ to help schools:
✅Hire more counselors
✅Train staff in trauma-informed care
✅Create social-emotional programs
Human needs come before academic needs. #txlege

Arizona voters passed Proposition 208 this November, taxing the state’s highest earners to provide revenue for teachers' salaries—currently among the lowest in the nation. But the GOP is ignoring their constituents and suing to undo the measure. #AZleg bit.ly/3gFnNlD

#SCOTUS recently declined to hear a case against school policies that recognize trans students’ gender identities. While this is a win, trans youth rights are still under attack in the states as well as the courts, as @chasestrangio points out.

This week saw a big win for the people of Michigan and criminal justice reform. The state Senate passed several bills aimed at ending the criminalization and needless incarceration of people who can’t afford to pay fines related to minor driving offenses. bit.ly/2KhcGU9

The death penalty shouldn’t exist.
It’s inhumane, disproportionately affects certain groups of people, can’t be undone if new evidence is revealed, and doesn’t deter crime.
I co-sponsored legislation to end it in FL and will do it again. More lawmakers should.

At a critical time for the provision of Covid relief, not only does our Legislature hold pointless election hearings that spread the virus, it then has to cancel session as a result. It’s irresponsible and selfish. Michiganders deserve better.

Last year, Flippable alum @DelRodWillett helped Democrats flip Virginia blue by winning election in one of the six defensive districts we targeted. Now we’re proud to see him named as Virginia’s House of Delegates Freshman Legislator of the Year. Congratulations Del. Willett! 🎉

In a 60-35 vote, the Ohio State House just passed Senate Bill 27 requiring those who have a surgical abortion to bury or cremate fetal remains. The bill will head to the State Senate next week and go to Governor DeWine’s desk if approved. bit.ly/3mMQhwb

As the 2020 election season comes to a close, all eyes are on Georgia. But an effective giving strategy goes beyond donating to Democratic candidates.
With Blueprint, you can invest in essential nonpartisan civic organizations too. Take a look: blueprint.swingleft.org
