Hi #Texas peeps! Have you called your reps yet today? Yes, it does matter. It does make a difference. They need to feel the pressure about a million different things. Please call to oppose Senate Bill 2, the school voucher bill.

It has passed the senate and has gone onto the House. You can look up who represents you here:

Who Represents Me?

Who Represents Me provides information about current districts and members of the Texas Senate, Texas House of Representatives, the Texas delegation to the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, and the State Board of Education.

What is one simple act of resistance that will absolutely infuriate any authoritarian determined to make the world ignore pandemics and climate change?

@emma right, that makes sense. Definitely understand why people end up with a variety of views on the subject but especially thinking of the people who will be particularly targeted by everything and yet want to connect as i try to figure out how to go about this
@RonniesaurusHex oh, realizing i phrased the question a bit confusingly, sorry! It was more about what to label it as than about the actual process to do it. All of this was helpful, though! Appreciate it!
