Dear Austin Women Invest to Elect Members-
INVEST TO ELECT TEXAS VOTING RIGHTS
MEMBER EVENT NEXT TUESDAY
There are so many urgent issues in our country right now that it can be hard to focus, but voting rights is one that is both important, urgent and daunting in its complexity. Continued voter disenfranchisement will erode democracy and entrench minority rule.
The Ossoff/Warnock senate wins in Georgia were an amazing example of what happens when voters organize and engage. The reaction to November's Democrat sweep of our federal government branches has been a rash of state-level activity to disenfranchise voters, especially those of color. So much of the effort to suppress voter influence happens at the state level in the form of government organizational structure with strategic attacks including but not limited to; at-large districting, gerrymandering, and voting laws including voter ID requirements and mail-in ballot restrictions.
Our member meetings focus on education. We will be hosting a virtual event to explore the MANY Texas-specific threats to voting rights on March 30 from 6-7:30PM.
Please RSVP here and feel free to bring guests who may be prospective members. While this event is free to attend, we will be tracking any contributions members and guests make to our panelist organizations to count toward our member Texas contribution commitments--stay tuned for links.
We hope to see you there!
