Friend,

Right now in Texas, democracy is under lock and key.

Republicans are demanding that Democratic lawmakers sign “permission
slips” and submit to 24/7 police escorts – all to prevent them from ever
breaking quorum again while Trump-backed gerrymandering maps are forced
through the legislature.

Rep. Nicole Collier of Fort Worth refused. And now she’s effectively
trapped in the Texas House chamber – punished simply for defying an
outrageous demand from her Republican colleagues.

“My constituents sent me to Austin to protect their voices and rights,”
she said. “I refuse to sign away my dignity as a duly elected
representative just so Republicans can control my movements and monitor me
with police escorts.”

This abuse of power is outrageous. It’s about more than one chamber or one
lawmaker. It’s about whether Republicans can silence opposition through
intimidation and force.

We support Rep. Collier. And we’re asking you to join us right now:

Republicans end this political intimidation. >>

Her courage deserves our solidarity. Let’s send a clear message: we will
not accept these abuses of power.
