I stand with the Texas Represenatives who are refusing to make quorum. They’re not just walking out, they’re standing up. For voting rights, for democracy, and for the communities that are being targeted.
Right now, GOP lawmakers in Texas are pushing anti-voter laws and using gerrymandering to break up the political power of Black, Latino, and other marginalized communities. Gerrymandering is when politicians draw voting districts to rig elections in their favor. Instead of voters picking their leaders, leaders pick their voters. They split up neighborhoods or pack diverse communities into a single district so their voices are diluted or confined.
This is a deliberate strategy to hold onto power, even if it means silencing the will of the people. And it’s not just happening in Texas. If we let this slide, it’ll keep spreading.
Don’t sit this out. Call your reps. Use the 5 Calls app. Support orgs fighting voter suppression. Speak up wherever you can. Democracy doesn’t protect itself. People do.
