What we’re witnessing has terrible significance for the people of Texas but we will continue to fight with everything we have to draw attention to this injustice, demonstrate public support, and exert pressure on those in power. We’re not done.

The Texas House has just passed their racially discriminatory map that does dirty work in attempting to take away our voting power and Texans deserve better.

Any #txlege redistricting process should be fair and fully transparent, taking into account the needs and feedback of the communities directly involved. But that’s not what we have here.
What Texans are being subjected to is a farce and that’s devastating when the potential damage is all too real.

If state leaders were actually listening, they would know by now that Texans don’t want a redistricting process that draws us out of our own electoral power and out of fair representation. We’ve BEEN saying it. #txlege

The way we draw districts can have dramatic effect when it comes to our ability to have community needs met. SB 4 is a map that splinters our communities, making impactful representation even harder for Texans. Thank you @commoncausetexas.bsky.social for speaking out.

Here in Texas, the Senate is pushing ahead with an agenda set forth not by the people of our state.
The Senate's Special Committee on Congressional Redistricting will meet to take up SB 4 on Thursday.

Shouldn’t be hard, right? And yet after a series of public hearings where Texans voiced overwhelming opposition to any mid-decade redistricting that seeks to draw us even further out of our own voting power, lawmakers advanced a bill that would do precisely that.
