Boy howdy, it's been quite a month, John! 😤
Since our first installment of The Lege Lowdown [[link removed]] , a monthly newsletter from Texas Freedom Network , the far-right lowlifes at the Lege have kept up their shenanigans, tryin' to steal taxpayer money for private schools, force kiddos to pray, and mandate the display of the Ten Commandments in every classroom. And that ain't the half of it, John!
But it ain't all doom and gloom, so don't hang up the fiddle just yet. On March 24, more than a THOUSAND folks came to the Capitol for the LARGEST LGBTQIA+ Advocacy Day in the history of Texas! 🏳️‍🌈 You can hear more about that, and get caught up on all the important bills we're tracking, in this month's Lege Lowdown [[link removed]] .
Check out The Lege Lowdown! [[link removed]]
Each month, we're bringin' you a pretty little tied-up overview of key bills we’re focusing on related to our issue areas: public education, religious freedom, LGBTQIA+ equality, reproductive rights, and any big happenings in immigration and voting rights.
We hope you'll check out the full Lowdown [[link removed]] , but here's the skinny on a few bills we're watchin':
* VOUCHERS : House Bill 3 [[link removed]] , a voucher bill, had a public House committee hearing on March 11 and was left pending in committee thanks in huge part to the advocacy of Texans like you. Keep on tellin' your legislators that public dollars belong in public schools! [[link removed]]
* Religious Freedom: Senate Bill 10 [[link removed]] , which requires every public school classroom to display a poster of the Ten Commandments, and Senate Bill 11 [[link removed]] , establishing "prayer time" in schools, have both passed the Senate and made it to the House.
* Book Banning: Senate Bill 13 [[link removed]] , a bill that would make it easier to censor LGBTQIA+, Black, and brown stories and history, still needs to pass through the Texas House to make it to the governor’s desk.


We’ll be back next month with more of The Lege Lowdown [[link removed]] , but until then, make sure you’re followin’ Texas Freedom Network on Instagram [[link removed]] , Facebook [[link removed]] , Twitter [[link removed]] , and LinkedIn [[link removed]] to stay informed on how you can take action for your fellow Texans!
