Dear John,

Just this week, our team found out that there were two voter suppression
bills — HB6 in the Texas State House, SB7 in the Texas State Senate — that
were going to be introduced.

So, on Wednesday, Beto drove over eight hours from El Paso to Austin to
testify against these bills via public comment. We expected that he was
going to be able to take to the floor of the State Capitol to testify
against HB6. However, at the very last minute, they barred public comment
on the House floor.

Today, the State Senate took public comment for SB7 — and Beto, along with
others, were able to testify against this dangerous and harmful bill.

these shameless bills:

Both HB6 and SB7 are shameless attempts to suppress Texas voters in future
elections. Both pieces of legislation target voters of color, working
Texans, voters with disabilities, and young people. Both are not just an
attack on our right to vote; they’re an attack on our communities and our
future.

That’s why we’ve been the ground in Austin, speaking up against and
bringing attention to these bills. That’s why we’re organizing and
fighting back as hard as we can: to make sure these bills don’t pass into
law.

[ [link removed] ]To get the full picture of why these bills — specifically SB7 — are so
dangerous, take a second to listen to Beto’s testimony from today on the
Senate floor. Then, chip in to help us organize and fight back against
these dangerous bills.

More soon,
