Austin friends, there's still time to call your city council rep and ask them to support people experiencing homelessness in Austin. I just called and emailed my rep, Kathie Tovo, and it's so easy:

I don’t know why we’re asking people who voted out Trump to understand those who voted for him. Why aren’t Trump supporters being asked to explain their choice and mentality? I don’t get why the burden of understanding is on non-Trump supporters.

Immigrants like Rasha Abdalla are twice as likely as U.S.-born citizens to become physicians and surgeons. Determined to give back and eager to practice medicine here, Rasha believes applicants from foreign medical schools are often overlooked. bit.ly/386w7IY @EBONYMag

Proud of TX Appleseed and our partner for shining a light on cruelties committed in state juvenile justice facilities. This is why we need to close these facilities.

Check out this story to learn more about our complaint to the DOJ regarding TJJD's state secure facilities. An investigation is needed.

It’s the thing we’ve been doing for the last 5 months... Protest. We have the freedom to protest. Maybe you do need your notes.

We have two weeks to stop a crisis. Contact your U.S. reps & tell them to demand $100 billion in rental assistance and a uniform eviction moratorium in the new #COVID19 stimulus bill. A bill that stops millions of evictions needs to pass. govtrack.us

It’s happening. Austin City Council just unanimously voted to start sending this mass transit system to the ballot in November, PLUS a historic $300M investment in anti-displacement and affordable housing along the lines.

#COVID19 will have devastating impact on low-income communities & communities of color unless there is a robust policy response. Our Deputy Director, Brennan Griffin, outlines our policy recommendations for the state, cities, businesses & more. #txlege texasappleseed.org/covid-19-and-o…

Tell #txlege to fund research-based #schoolsafety measures. While #school #hardening & school #police numbers rise, Texas keeps a 5,503 counselor/mental health professional SHORTFALL. The $$ are there—allot enough for prevention, intervention & counselors bit.ly/2CZUojw

“I undertook the Fast because my heart was filled with grief and pain for the sufferings of farm workers. The Fast was first for me and then for all of us in this Union. It was a Fast for nonviolence & a call to sacrifice.”-Cesar Chavez, Ending Fast,1968 #FarmWorkerAwarenessWeek

We're at the Capitol! Two #txlege bills have hearings—SB 1001 would end out of school #suspension for #homeless #students & SB 424 relates to schools considering #homelessness or if a child is in #fostercare in disciplinary decisions. Let's keep these bills moving forward!

School districts are required to have a homeless liaison. Some duties include learning where homeless students stay, identifying those students & removing enrollment barriers. Many liaisons report having 3 JOB TITLES! Federal $ cover about 10% of Tx ISDs—Tx doesn't supplement $$
