Right now, as our communities recover from one of the deadliest floods in state history, Texans are looking to our leaders for real leadership.
However, instead of prioritizing disaster recovery and prevention, Gov. Greg Abbott has called a special legislative session to promote President Trump's priorities and further attack our civil rights.
Certain state politicians are wasting time and resources trying to rig our system — by redrawing voting maps that would further weaken the voices of communities of color. They've introduced bills to expand Texas' extreme abortion ban and to police who can use public bathrooms. It's more divisive politics to distract us from their failure to address the issues that actually matter.
As Texans, when our communities suffer, we come together and support each other. We can and must demand that our lawmakers stop echoing President Trump's policy goals and start putting our communities first – and your voice will be crucial. Sign our petition urging the Texas Legislature to prioritize flood relief and address the real needs of Texans.
We want strong public schools, affordable healthcare, and proactive strategies to address flooding, blackouts, extreme heat, and water shortages. We need leaders who put Texans and our rights first.
