We’re not just #voting. We’re planting #seeds for the kind of #future we want to #grow. Our #communities have always #cared for each other. Voting is one more tool in that #fight. Early voting starts April 22 - May 3.
#Protect yourself from #immigration #scams! Before creating an online #USCIS account or submitting personal information: 1. Beware of any scams and be mindful of anyone telling you to register. 2. Speak with a trusted #legal representative. Find a trusted legal service at ReadyToStay.org/find-help.
Last month, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced they will require all #non-citizens over 14 who have been in the U.S. for 30 days or more and have not yet been fingerprinted or registered to do so. Find a trusted #legal #expert visiting ReadyToStay.org/find-help.
On February 24th, 2025, the #Trump #administration announced they would require some #undocumented #immigrants to register with the #federal #government. The #non-citizen #registration requirement is officially in effect on Friday, April 11, 2025.

The Texas Language Justice Collective has worked tirelessly in this 89th Texas Legislature with non-English preference-speaking #community members and #Texas #Legislators to re-file our #language access bills: HB4838 (Rep. Morales Shaw) and SB2853 (Sen. Menéndez)!
Because we know what our #communities need, and we #deserve a say. We’ve been left out and #spoken over — but #voting is one way we #protect our #people.
Your vote says:
“I want my family to be safe.”
“I want my language spoken.”
“I want better for our kids.”

A #bill can be stopped at any point in the process. Without #strong #public #support and sustained pressure on #legislators, many good bills die in #committee or never make it to a #vote. It’s up to us to keep them alive. #texas #austin #texaslegislation #legislativeeduccation
The legislative #session is our window of #opportunity to make real #change. Once the session ends, we lose the chance to pass critical policies for two more years. Every two years, the state #legislature gathers to make #laws that will affect the daily lives of millions.

If you're #worried that your #tax #dollars will go to #helping someone and not about your tax dollars disappearing into the pockets of the #rich, you're worrying about the #wrong thing.
Some of us will never understand how people were more upset about a #SuperBowl #halftimeshow than #ElonMusk #stealing our #socialsecurity. Make it make sense!
When they try to #silence you, it’s not because your #voice is not worthy to be heard. They try to silence you because your voice is your #power. Don't let anyone try to keep you down. Fight back!
Don't you love it when #corporate stores ask their customers to round up to #donate to the needy. Some people are using a #coupon to buy their basic #groceries and everyday items. These corporate stories are a $20 billion+ #company. Why don't you round up? #taxtherich #classconsciousness
