More Not-so-Special Session 😑

July 18, 2017

Hello again our feisty Texas #ChangeMakers,

You were pretty awesome today. In case you somehow forgot how much so:

THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone that came to today's Day of Action. Your attendance was AMAZING and really showed, in physical numbers, the support of our Texas community for the issues at stake in this special session.

We are really feeling the love, and hope y'all are too! Your help is making a huge difference when it's needed most.

But the fight's not over. In fact, it just started.

Tomorrow, once again, we call on YOU... yes YOU... for support during the Special Session. So, get pumped for some more fight-back action and keep on reading!

Ugh... I just spent all day today at the capitol. There's more???

  • Yup. But tomorrow it all fits in a lunch break. Ditch that sad solo lunch at your desk for the NARAL repro justice training session, led by Ash Williams of SisterSong @ 12:15pm in the Capitol Building! 

Well, there are 30 more days... maybe I can miss just this one.

Wrong. The Special Session agenda addresses reproductive rights in several items. The list includes additional insurance premiums for elective abortions and tougher laws to prevent states from contracting with abortion providers, all measures intended to discourage women from having abortions.

Restricting women's access to healthcare and targeting medical providers is unfair and will threaten the health and safety of all Texas women!

NARAL's reproductive justice training is one way to prepare yourself for the fight against these proposals. Learn how to raise your voice as #OneTX to defend the right to choose.

Ya, that's right. It's called GIRL. POWER... Look it up.

No problem! Check out actions you can take part in across Texas right in your hometown. Make sure you're staying engaged and involved, even from afar.

In solidarity,
