Friend,
Tonight, Texas Democrats in the State Legislature delivered a victory for retired teachers. Moments ago, Texas House Democratic Caucus Chair Trey Martinez Fischer passed an amendment to the state budget that will increase teachers' retirement benefits -- after nearly two decades of stalling by Republicans. Rush a $7 donation to keep the momentum going!
Yes, you read that right, friend: the Republican-led Texas Legislature has neglected to give retired teachers a cost of living adjustment since 2004.
But that changed tonight. Texas Democrats, in partnership with strong allies like the Texas State Teachers Association and the Texas American Federation of Teachers, have secured a victory for the very retirees who dedicated their lives to teaching our kids.
Texas Democrats know that working families across our state deserve to be able to provide their children the best education, and our Democratic legislators are meeting the moment. We’re expecting brutal pushback from Republicans -- but with y’all’s support -- we can fight radical culture war bills and advocate for legislation that makes our schools stronger and safer. Donate $23 right now to help us do just that.
