The People vs. The State of Texas: Rally
September 11, 2021 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Join us this Saturday, September 11th at 3-5PM on the South steps – Rain or Shine
We will stand in solidarity together to demand justice for our lives, our bodies and our rights.
Wear a mask.
Statewide, local and national civil rights / social justice organizations including Austin Justice Coalition, Austin Area Urban League, Just Liberty, Next Generation Action Network, Push Democracy Forward, Texas Fair Defense Project, Lilith Fund and others, will host a rally at the Texas State Capitol South Steps to hold Texas lawmakers accountable for waging war on the civil liberties of Texans through the most suppressive legislative session in the past 30 years.
Our calls to action:
*Restoration and expansion of Texans’ Right to Abortions
*Restoration and Permanent protection of Voting Rights for Texas
*Comprehensive Bail Reform
*Allowing Teachers to Teach
*Raise the Minimum Wage to $15, Invest in Workers and Cancel Student Debt
*Protections for Our Unhoused Neighbors
*Accountability Measures for When the Bureaucracy Fails the Public (1. ERCOT 2. EOC during winter Storm Uri).
