It is important -now more than ever- that we put the people, not power-hungry politicians, in charge of drawing fair, representative election maps. #FairMaps www.fairmapstexas.org

What we’re witnessing has terrible significance for the people of Texas but we will continue to fight with everything we have to draw attention to this injustice, demonstrate public support, and exert pressure on those in power. We’re not done. #txlege #gerrymandering #riggedmap #redistricting

The Texas House has just passed their racially discriminatory map that does dirty work in attempting to take away our voting power and Texans deserve better. #txlege #ourvoteourpower #redistricting #gerrymandering #riggedmaps

Any #txlege redistricting process should be fair and fully transparent, taking into account the needs and feedback of the communities directly involved. But that’s not what we have here. What Texans are being subjected to is a farce and that’s devastating when the potential damage is all too real.

If state leaders were actually listening, they would know by now that Texans don’t want a redistricting process that draws us out of our own electoral power and out of fair representation. We’ve BEEN saying it. #txlege

The way we draw districts can have dramatic effect when it comes to our ability to have community needs met. SB 4 is a map that splinters our communities, making impactful representation even harder for Texans. Thank you @commoncausetexas.bsky.social for speaking out. #txlege #fairmaps

We are grateful for the enduring promise of freedom that the Voting Rights Act still represents for us 60 years later. And we'll keep fighting to protect its legacy. #VotingRightsAct #VRA60 #txlege #redistricting #ourvoteourpower #endgerrymandering

Here in Texas, the Senate is pushing ahead with an agenda set forth not by the people of our state. The Senate's Special Committee on Congressional Redistricting will meet to take up SB 4 on Thursday.

While our current district maps by no means serve our communities or reflect our growth as a state, HB 4 seeks to make a bad situation even worse. Members of the Fair Maps Texas coalition joined up with other Texans last Friday to speak out against it. #fairmaps #txlege

Shouldn’t be hard, right? And yet after a series of public hearings where Texans voiced overwhelming opposition to any mid-decade redistricting that seeks to draw us even further out of our own voting power, lawmakers advanced a bill that would do precisely that. #txlege

The House Redistricting hearing is happening right now and Texans are continuing to stand against this obvious power play that would only fail their communities. While the hearing is in progress, there is still time to submit your public comments on HB 4 by visiting bit.ly/commenthb4 #txlege

Yesterday Texans showed up and urged lawmakers in the House to put Texans first. Our districts should reflect our needs, not the needs of Congress. Check out the editorial from The Fort Worth Star-Telegram: www.star-telegram.com/opinion/edit... #txlege

Our voting districts should reflect our communities, not the whims of those determined to draw us out of our own voting power. Today the first #txlege hearing for redistricting kicks off on the side of the House and we need to keep speaking out. www.kxan.com/news/texas-p...

Today, lawmakers head back to the Texas Capitol and they’re going to take up a mid-cycle redistricting that would draw us even further out of our own political power. We have to keep speaking out. #txlege #fairmaps
