Abbott’s priorities are clear — and we’re ready to fight

Governor Greg Abbott just released his list of priorities for the special session starting tomorrow — and voter suppression is at the very top.

There’s a lot of terrible ideas on the list, but also a lot of critical priorities that aren’t.

We’ve already seen rolling blackouts this summer — but there’s nothing on the agenda about strengthening and protecting our electric grid.

COVID cases are rising, but there’s nothing about vaccination or public health.

We’re recovering from the COVID recession, but hundreds of thousands of Texans are still out of work — but there’s nothing about jobs or economic recovery.

Instead of focusing on real problems, Abbott is prioritizing more culture war nonsense and a renewed assault on our right to vote.

If you’re ready to do whatever it takes to protect Texas’ right to vote, we need you with us in Austin on Tuesday, July 13th for the Gulf Coast Lobby Day.

We’re sending two buses full of union members from the Gulf Coast to send a clear message to Abbott and his allies — stop trying to resurrect Jim Crow and take away our right to vote!
