This is horrifying, unacceptable, and totally out of touch with what Texans want. Transgender youth are valid and deserve care, not unwarranted attacks on their families and doctors.
Abbott should focus on fixing the power grid failures which took hundreds of lives instead.
Texas Attorney General: “There is no doubt" that gender transition of minors is ‘child abuse’ under Texas law.
The Texas Dept. of Family & Protective Services will enforce this ruling and investigate & refer for prosecution any such abuse.

Things may look different now but we want everyone to know that if you need help getting an abortion, we may be able to help you pay for it and go out of state if you need to. Send us a text at 1-844-832-3862.

In case you haven't already heard, @GregAbbott_TX has signed SB 8 into law. It is set to go into effect in September unless the courts intervene. Here's a thread on what's going on and how you can support Texans getting abortions.

Prioritizing his political agenda, instead of Texans' needs, @GovAbbott signs SB 8 into law-effective Sep. 1st. This bill would ban abortions at 6 weeks. ‼️ This is before some people even know they are pregnant! 🧵

This morning Gov. Abbott signed #SB8, the 6-week abortion ban. Folks showed up at the Gov's mansion to let him know we're not going away. #TXDeservesBetter
ABORTION IS STILL LEGAL IN TEXAS. If you are under 18 & need support accessing abortion, call or text us at 866-999-5263

We get it. Science is hard. 🙄 We'll break it down for you Rep. Slawson... @ChrisGTurner is right, access to healthcare = low maternal mortality. Abortion = Healthcare. Therefore, access to abortion = access to time sensitive essential healthcare that could save lives. #txlege

TX abortion providers are under attack. Many extreme #TXLege bills are rushing through the House, but #HB1515 is among the worst, as it would allow rapists to sue their victim’s abortion providers and family members for helping them get the care they need. #TXDeservesBetter

We must continue to use our voices to demand systematic change. Our communities deserve more accountability. More action. More justice. #BlackLivesMatter

🚨 It's imperative that we take action now as this issue is being heard in the #TXLege today! 🚨 Gerrymandering decisions made now will impact Texans for years to come.
Make your voice heard and contact the redistricting committee chair, Rep. Todd Hunter at (512) 463-0672!

What can we do about this in TX? 🤠
Speak up to our legislators in redistricting hearings! This can impact the way district lines are drawn around your community. Also show your support for bills (like HB 3094 & HB 282) that advocate for an independent commission!

Why does redistricting matter? (thread)
Districts are redrawn only once every 10 years, & while some states have independent commissions for this, many states including Texas allow the legislature to decide. This can be problematic for states w/ one majority political party! 👀

Menstrual products are basic necessities not luxurious items. Period. 🩸#HB321 would eliminate the menstrual product tax. #txlege #TXDeservesBetter

🌟 Make your voice heard by contacting Speaker Phelan (512-463-1000) and Rep. Burrows (512-463-0542) to NOT move forward with HB 2313 and all other anti-abortion bills! 🌟
Be sure to follow @JanesDueProcess for more resources and updates!

This session in the #TXLege HB 2313 is being considered, which would require resource access assistance before an abortion is performed. This would create yet another roadblock for Texans needing abortion care by forcing them to call a hotline run by fake clinics or CPC’s 😡

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! 👀

On Sunday, Daunte Wright was shot and killed by a police officer for hanging air fresheners in his vehicle.
At Deeds, we continue to support legislation that holds law enforcement and the criminal justice system accountable for abuses of power & perpetuation of white supremacy.
