Try to stay safe and remember your constitutional rights. Don’t resist, keep your hands clear and visible, and stay silent.

Remember that anything you say or do can be used against you. Arguing or resisting may give police an excuse to arrest you.

TEXAS 👏 SHOWED 👏 OUT

More than 5,000 Texans came together at the State Capitol this past weekend to resist lawmakers’ attempts to dilute the electoral power of voters of color.

No matter the color of our skin or where we live, Texans support each other. We deserve lawmakers who will do the same.

Texas lawmakers want to make it illegal for trans and intersex Texans to access restrooms that match our lived experience and identity.

Bathroom bans don’t protect anyone — they endanger all of us and open the door to gender policing. #SB7 #txlege
