Join us and Acres Homes Community Advocacy Group along with partners on Oct 2nd to learn about this new congressional district map + how it will impact our communities heading into upcoming elections. Our friends will be discussing local advocacy steps to make sure Texans stay heard! #redistricting

Tarrant County has had so much growth over the past two decades with much of it driven by communities of color. The "extra round" of redistricting we just went through however, threatens to stifle their voting power: www.texastribune.org/2025/09/02/t...

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

To catch you up: Earlier this evening the House adopted the map, 88 to 52, along party lines. www.texastribune.org/2025/08/20/t... #txlege #texasredistricting

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

Join us as we fill the the Capitol once again: www.mobilize.us/movetexas/ev...

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.

More than 5,000 people gathered in Austin on Saturday to protest the Texas Legislature’s plan to redraw the state’s congressional districts to give Republicans an advantage in the midterms. www.kut.org/politics/202... #txlege

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

Our Governor has said the unconstitutional congressional map the Legislature attempted to push through the first special session will be a top priority going into this second one. #txlege www.texastribune.org/2025/08/15/t... #fairmaps #stopgerrymandering

Take action and join our friends with the Texas For All Coalition as we rally at the Capitol this Saturday, Aug. 16, from 11 AM -1 PM to join the chorus of Texans fighting for #fairmaps! www.mobilize.us/movetexas/ev...

"I think what we're seeing here, and what we're witnessing in this redistricting proposal and the midterm cycle, is what I would call a master class in demographic manipulation." - Michael O. Adams, a political science professor at Texas Southern University www.npr.org/2025/08/15/n... #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

This push to redraw congressional districts using five year old data comes at the request of the White House to "help Republicans maintain control of the U.S. House in the 2026 midterms."

"Planning for the March primary election is already underway, but election officials say they can’t move forward without finalized maps..." www.votebeat.org/texas/2025/0... #txlege

"...it sums up the lapdog state of Texas leadership in Austin, where extremism has replaced reason, entitlement has trumped mutual respect and acquiescence to Trump has blown away the last gritty residue of independence clinging to some West Texas lawmaker’s boot." #txlege bit.ly/3UiHC79

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.

On the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, we face a stark truth: its most powerful protections have been stripped away and many of those in power, including right here in Texas, continue to chip away at the voting power of the people. #txlege apnews.com/article/voti...

The Senate has scheduled a hearing for THIS Thursday, Aug 7th starting at 9am to take up SB 4, the proposed Congressional map that would erase decades of progress that communities of color have fought long and hard for. See details below & RSVP to testify with us! www.mobilize.us/tvp/event/82...

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

Wanna learn more about what you can do to stand up against the abusive gerrymandering happening now in Texas? Join this @fairmapstexas.bsky.social event:

A new proposed map for redistricting Texas was released today as part of HB 4. The House will host a public hearing at 10 a.m. this Friday to take up the proposal. The proposed map would eliminate 5 congressional seats currently held by Democrats. (Currently, the GOP holds 25 of 38 seats.)

The Texas House Select Committee on Congressional Redistricting has posted a hearing for Friday, Aug 1st, to take up HB 4. Notice here: capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/89R/... #txlege #fairmaps #fairmapstexas #redistricting

The #txlege has begun holding sham field hearings for their mid-census redistricting effort. Over 2400 Texans have shown up to oppose this power grab! What's the point of these hearings without a map visible to the public? #ShowUsTheMaps www.fairmapstexas.org/fair-and-open

Don't forget: Today, the Texas Legislature will conduct redistricting hearings on both the House side and the Senate side. www.npr.org/2025/07/21/n... #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

“It’s a good old fashioned bait-and-switch, with a power grab added in.” Texans turned out today in a big way to speak out against lawmakers redrawing congressional voting districts for their own political gain. www.texastribune.org/2025/07/24/t... #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...
