Brothers, sisters, and siblings,
Workers in our state are under attack, our freedom to determine the direction of local communities in Texas is at stake. Several bills will be heard this week that intend to strip the power of local governments to address workplace safety, disaster response and public health.
These bills are not just attacks on workers, they are attacks on ALL Texans - on our children, our neighborhoods, and our towns that are so special precisely because of their differences, not despite them. WE know what our communities need. Our freedom to have a say in how the places we live and work are governed is our right. We can not let it be taken away.
We need your help, click NOW to call the members of the House State Affairs Committee, and tell them to oppose these bills.
Here are the phone numbers and a script you can use to make the calls:
For House State Affairs Committee: (833) 593-0885
“I am calling Representative (x) to ask them to oppose HB 2127. This bill is an attack on Texas workers and an infringement on our fundamental right to run the communities in which we live and work every day. vote NO on HB 2127.”
In solidarity,
Team Texas AFL-CIO
