Hi again Texas #ChangeMakers,

Sick of us yet?? Sorry, not sorry... there's work to do! And we've got plenty more opportunities to plug in before this not-so-Special Session is through.

Huge shout-out to the incredible young advocates who joined us at the Capitol yesterday to raise their voices in support of some proactive legislation to #EndSexualAssault.

We were real proud, as were Chairman Moody and Vice Chair Hunter of the House Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence.



But as Representative Hunter reminded those in the room: this is not a one-time thing. Civic engagement is an ongoing process, and unless the people SHOW UP politicians will continue to make decisions in an empty room based on their opinions, not our values.

So whether or not you were able to join yesterday, this is a vital time for Texas politics, and we all need to #stayWOKE...

• Got plans for your lunch break TOMORROW?? Now you do!
  Our friends at NARAL are co-hosting another training, this time on abortion insurance coverage bans. The training, led by All* Above All  starts @ 11am in the Capitol building, room E1.014.
