Deeds Debunks: Crisis Pregnancy Centers instagram.com/tv/CNsoNfbl8NA… We've all seen a billboard off a highway saying something like "Pregnant? Need help?" Unfortunately, CPCs do not actually help pregnant people— watch our Changemakers from @utd_deeds debunk myths around CPCs! 👀

Did you know 6 anti-trans bills are being heard soon at #txlege? Go to bit.ly/testimony-upload ASAP to record your own personal statement addressed to your reps. We NEED people to testify to let your reps know that these bills are dangerous and discriminatory.

Over 275,000 BIPOC youth turn 18 and are eligible to vote in Texas every year. 🌹 This morning we demonstrated the power & resilience of young voters by dropping over 250,000 rose petals from the rotunda at the capitol. Mess with people of color and we'll be a thorn in your side!

🚨🚨🚨: The fiscal note on HB 1026 just came out--which explains how much the bill will cost the state--and it’s enormous: a $106,806,810 hit to Texas taxpayers from now to 2023 to fund new voter suppression, and would cost tens of millions every year into the foreseeable future.

Replying to @TXCivilRights
HB1026 imposes draconian changes to elections, incl. eliminating the existence of VDRs & the high school voter registration program. Would impose proof of citizenship requirement on VR by relying on DPS data that doesn't reliably reflect a person’s current citizenship status.

Okay, both Dade Phelan and Dan Patrick invited us to point to places in #HB6/#SB7 where there is voter suppression. So here's a thread of me doing that in SB7. First, the restriction on 24-hour voting:
