[2]feminists win in Amarillo headline
John,
Over the past few years, Texas has been the GOP’s experiment lab, the
place where fringe ideas get thrown against a wall until something
sticks.
Well, something stuck last night in Amarillo, Texas. And it wasn’t what
they hoped.
What happened last night is that feminism won. Organizing won. Hope won.
Freedom and bodily autonomy won. We won.

The so-called Sanctuary Cities for the Unborn campaign was defeated in
Amarillo, Texas by a 4-1 majority. We may still see it on the ballot in
November, and if we do, we will defeat it at the ballot box, too.
The lesson here is that organizing gets the goods. If we can win in
Amarillo, Texas, we can win anywhere. And I believe that we will keep
winning.
This is obviously a battle in a larger fight, but for today, let’s lift up
the Texas feminists who are doing the damn thing when they could be
anywhere else. We see you red state organizers. We see you local folks. We
see you in small towns and rural communities. We see you in those places
so many wanted to give up on, discard. We see you, we celebrate you, and
we thank you.
Specifically, I want to thank Amarillo Reproductive Freedom Alliance for
all the laser-sharp, tough-as-nails organizing that got us here today.
Y’all did the damn thing.
In gratitude,
Rachel O'Leary Carmona
Executive Director, Women's March
