87th Texas Legislative Session Update: Focus on LGBTQIA+ and Voting Rights

April 17, 2021 @ 10:30 am 12:00 pm

The Houston GLBT Political Caucus endorsement is highly respected and sought after among progressive candidates in the Houston area. Once elected, we count on them to advance equality by proactively supporting pro-LGBTQIA+ bills, and fighting against those meant to marginalize.

With less than two months left in the 87th Texas Legislative session, come hear where we stand on the rash of harmful bills that have risen to the top. Endorsed legislators will share their advocacy efforts, and commitments to equality. There will be time for audience Q&A, and a call to action.This is where the rubber hits the road. We work hard to elect pro-equality candidates, now be a part of the legislative process.

Presenters:

  • Ali Lozano, Outreach Manager – Texas Civil Rights Project
  • Brad Pritchett, Field Director – Equality TexasEmmett Schelling, Executive Director – Transgender Education Network of Texas
  • Confirmed Caucus-endorsed legislators:
    • Representative Jon Rosenthal (D-HD135)
    • Representative Ann Johnson (D-HD 134)
    • Representative Ron Reynolds (D-HD 27)
