Texas lawmakers are back in session—and Gov. Abbott is wasting no time pushing a racist redistricting scheme. Instead of solving real problems like flooding or public safety, he’s prioritizing partisan power grabs. We see you. #TXLege

Today, the Fair Maps Texas Coalition along with 31 community organizations sent a letter to the Governor, Lt. Governor, and Speaker of the House asking for the immediate withdrawal of redistricting from the legislative agenda for the upcoming special session. Please see below:
Texas has real problems to deal with that are more important than any re-election campaigns. We won't let this happen.
#BREAKING: Governor Abbot announces that congressional redistricting has been added to the Texas legislative special session.
Amidst ongoing flood recovery, TX Gov. Abbott calls for mid-decade congressional redistricting. View our full statement here: myemail.constantcontact.com/Amidst-ongoing… Write your letter here: bit.ly/NORIGGEDMAPS
Trump wants to RIG our maps! ❌ We won’t allow this to happen, but we need your help! Write a letter & tell your lawmakers: No special session. No illegal maps. No D.C. power grabs. Write your lawmakers here: bit.ly/NORIGGEDMAPS
We reject in the strongest terms the use of violence against political opponents—here, our U.S. Senator Alex Padilla. Californians have every right to demand answers after the unlawful military deployment against constitutionally protected protest. This is authoritarianism.
A sitting US Senator was forcibly removed from a DHS press conference and detained in his home state. This is unprecedented. This is not law and order — this is a hostile takeover and an aggressive overextension of power.

If you don't want guns in Texas polling places, submit a public comment on HB 1128 and HB 1794 here! comments.house.texas.gov/home?c=c308
The House Committee on Homeland Security, Public Safety & Veterans' Affairs is currently meeting to discuss allowing election workers to carry guns (HB 1128) and allowing voters to carry a concealed weapon inside the polling place (HB 1794). @CCauseTexas is against these bills.
Last week, the House passed the SAVE Act and if it becomes law, it could disenfranchise tens of thousands of eligible voters right here in Texas. We will not allow this to happen, but we need your help! Sign our petition here act.commoncause.org/petitions/tell…
The SAVE Act would disenfranchise millions by requiring passports or birth certificates to register to vote. Over 21M Americans lack these documents and would be silenced! #StopSAVEAct
