Just acquired a disability pride flag for my room! (cc @sarajw)
Wrinkled disability pride flag hanging vertically with the red stripe on the left and two gromets on the top corners on a lightly saturated sea foam green wall with a lamp encroaching slightly on the bottom right. Window trim slightly visible on the right hand edge of the frame, not covering the flag.

Incredibly disappointing to see the continuation of an increase in our county jail population. We need to start prioritizing the downsizing of our incarceration and focus on returning these people to safe, healthy and comfortable living environments where they can thrive.

PROGRESSIVE FOR TRAVIS COUNTY REESE!

Reese is running to be your next Travis County commissioner to fight for workers like you.
Our county could be doing so much more.
House every Austinite
Build a bedrock of permanently affordable social housing, upzone and support tenants unions to house every Austinite and lower rents.
Defend public schools
Our public schools are under attack by Greg Abbott and facing a major budget deficit. Travis County needs to step up and invest in our school district to protect our children.
Union YES
Make companies who receive tax breaks sign card-check labor peace agreements that respect workers' right to organize, including Elon Musk and his billionaire buddies who currently recieve millions in free tax giveaways from the county.
