New rebrand just dropped!! what do y'all think of our new priorities?? 🐱 🤖 #AprilFools
this could be us 😩 ☝️
It's #SunshineWeek, so let's talk about transparency in drawing #FairMaps. The process of drawing voting maps should include open hearings and input from the public. Too often voting maps are drawn in smoke-filled backrooms. What are they hiding? 👀
After being outspent & unseated by West Texas (& Pennsylvanian) Billionaires – @RogersForTexas indicting the corrupt money in Texas politics. Today seems like a good day to reshare our campaign finance reforms recommended by the team at @CCauseTexas: commoncause.org/texas/resource…
We agree, @JoeBiden: We must respect free & fair elections. Political violence has no place in America. The state of our union is stronger when our democracy is protected. #SOTU #StateOfTheUnion
In a letter to President Biden, @CommonCause & 40+ orgs urged him to prioritize voting rights. President & CEO @KaseVirginia says we need to remind the White House "that we not only have to talk about the challenges, we have to talk about the solutions.”washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…
Deeply appreciate @jen_rice_ letting me weigh in on this truly tragic story of Hervis Rogers whose life was completely upended for simply trying to vote "Cases like this can absolutely have a chilling effect, and you have to wonder if that's part of the point"

Deeply appreciate @jen_rice_ letting me weigh in on this truly tragic story of Hervis Rogers whose life was completely upended for simply trying to vote "Cases like this can absolutely have a chilling effect, and you have to wonder if that's part of the point"
today's election day in TX. 4 years ago, hervis rogers was called a hero when he waited in line 6 hours to vote. but TX prosecuted him for casting that ballot. and while he still urges others to do their civic duty, he's decided he'll never vote again: houstonchronicle.com/politics/elect…
DID YOU KNOW❓ You can call/TEXT the nonpartisan election protection hotline all day today if you have questions or face issues voting? 📲 long lines? call 📲 turned away from voting? call 📲 hear about a machine being down? call 📲 feel intimidated voting? call! Go vote Texas!
Really important thread on the history of primary elections in Texas! Read & share ⤵️⤵️⤵️
In 1924, Dr. Lawrence Nixon - a Black Texan - tried to cast a primary ballot & was denied on account of it being an 'all white primary'. 100 years later, today is the first day of Early Voting in the 2024 Texas primaries. Let's reflect on the legacy of Texan Lawrence Nixon 🧵.
I wasn’t exactly first in line today when I voted but I can say, “I’m Number 4, I’m Number 4!”
100 years ago, Texans were being systemically denied participation in their primary elections – but persisted anyway. Today, it is critical to appreciate the rights we have, continue to stay engaged in the fight to expand them, and VOTE. More info ⤵️ x.com/ccausetexas/st…
Thanks to @BetoORourke for sharing the story about Lawrence Nixon in his recent book "We've Got to Try". More info: lithub.com/beto-orourkes-…
On July 26, 1924, Dr. Nixon was turned away as he tried to vote in the primary election. He held a receipt in his hand indicating he had paid the required $1.75 poll tax. When told that he would not be able to vote – Nixon said "I know. But I had to try."
I only recently learned of Dr. Nixon from @BetoORourke's book - We've Got to Try Nixon's story of fierce persistence in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles is deeply inspiring, and an important one to share as early voting in our TX primary elections begins #Vote

🗳️ It's #EarlyVoting time in Texas! 🤠 From now until March 1st, you have the power to select your local and national leaders. Never forget that your vote can make a big difference in shaping the future of our state and country. 🌟vote for community and vote the villains OUT! 🤜
Today is the first day of early voting in the Texas primaries. Voting should be easy, but if you ever have questions or see any issues (long lines, turned away to vote, etc) then call or text our nonpartisan hotline! We have voting rights experts ready to answer questions! 📲⤵️
