On Saturday, April 22, the Texas House Democratic Caucus will host individual rallies in Austin, Houston, San Antonio, El Paso, Plano and Fort Worth. Community members are invited to attend to protest against major legislative efforts to roll back civil rights of communities across Texas.
“Our communities have fought, bled, and sometimes died fighting for our civil rights over the past century. It has only been recently that our communities have had a seat at the table,” Wu said. “Now, there are dozens of pieces of legislation to roll back the rights that we have earned. They are telling us we are no longer welcome at the table and we should go back to begging for scraps. We refuse.”
