John,
SB 14 is back on the House floor tomorrow. We're working with our All In For Equality Coalition partners to plan a day of resistance at the Capitol [[link removed]] . Our goal will be the same as it was on Tuesday: to peacefully let our state legislators know that Texans will not silently idle as the government needlessly involves itself in medical decisions that should stay between loving families and their healthcare providers.
John, know that the safety of our community is our top priority. We will have heightened security measures and designated safe zones tomorrow. We hope you can join us, but we understand if not. We've included ways you can support from afar toward the end of this email. Please take care of yourself!

We have shown time and time again that we are organizing for peace and in joyful resistance. Extremist legislators can try to take our Capitol away from us, but we will still show up, both in-person and online. We're not backing down, and we will not be silenced.
In solidarity and safety,
