Every Texan deserves the freedom to have their voice heard. We stand against Gov. Abbott & his cronies who are using force to keep UT Austin students from exercising their right to express their opinions. Texans are #worthmore and deserve to gather without threats of violence.
Welcome to day two of the #AAPIAgainstGunViolence convening! Today, we'll continue empowering our communities through conversations centered around journalism, race equity, political representation & more!
Ramadan Mubarak 🌙! May this time of prayer, reflection and fasting bring joy and peace to all those that observe this holy month.
Happy International Women's Day as we continue our work towards a gender equal world that's diverse, equitable, and inclusive.
If you live in a gerrymandered district, your vote today will have more consequence than your vote in November. So go vote! apps.texastribune.org/features/2024/…
Primary Election Day is tomorrow, Tueday, March 5! Figure out today when and where you will vote tomorrow. Put it on your schedule. Make democracy a priority!
Fort Bend County's Asian American population surged, yet this growth hasn't translated into political clout. Divisive districting tactics have diluted AAPI voting power. This election cycle exposes the consequences. Elections matter. bit.ly/3Tll2Lf

Governor Abbott said the quiet part OUT LOUD. They weren't rioters. They weren't attackers. They weren't terrorists. ... just PROTESTORS. People he didn't agree with. So, he used militarized police. To crush people he didn't like. This is what fascism actually looks like.
Proud of the students and faculty at UT for showing Hartzell and Abbott that they will not be intimidated.
Back at UT Austin for day two of protests. This one says it is both intended to support Gaza and to condemn the police response yesterday. The crowd is at least 5x larger than the crowd that showed up yesterday at this time. Peaceful, quiet. Very little law enforcement presence.
#TXForAll condemns University President Jay Hartzell and the University of Texas at Austin’s decision to use excessive force against peacefully protesting students.
The generation that watched their classmates get shot or beaten bloody for protesting the Vietnam War... Are now cheering on the same cops doing the same thing to their own kids for protesting a war.
The Texas GOP has never believed in real freedom. They say no to weed, no to reproductive freedom, no to porn, and now no to the 1st Amendment right to peacefully protest.
Chanting from today's faculty-led protest on UT Austin's campus: "We have lost confidence in those who call themselves leaders, who abandoned their community and their campus after inviting the police state to take over this campus." Video: @MichaelMinasi
Every Texan deserves the freedom to have their voice heard. We stand against Gov. Abbott & his cronies who are using force to keep UT Austin students from exercising their right to express their opinions. Texans are #worthmore and deserve to gather without threats of violence.
