Today, rather than mourning what we've lost, we want to take the time to celebrate what we've created: a wide-spanning, growing commun…

TOMORROW is Teach-In day!

It's time for a Teach-In

Join us at the Capitol  Hi John,  Public education should serve all students, but bills like the Ten Commandments Bill (SB 10) threaten the freedom, inclusivity, and support our schools are designed to provide. In order to engage and educate advocates just like you, we’re excited to invite you to an…

🚨 TOMORROW: Keep Texas Kids Free to Read

Testify at the SB 13 hearing  They're at it again, John.  The House Public Education Committee is hearing SB 13, a book banning bill, tomorrow. This bill would make it easier for political appointees and bad actors to target stories by and for LGBTQIA+ people and communities of color under the false…

10 Commandments Bill left pending after 24-hour hearing

Thank you for fighting with us.  Hi John,  Yesterday, TFN and other religious freedom advocates spent nearly 24 hours straight at the Texas Capitol, waiting to testify against the 10 Commandments Bill.  Why? Because the bill hearing began more than 15 hours after its initial scheduled time. Texans w…

It's the April Lege Lowdown 🤠

  Howdy John,  We wouldn't pull your leg — April at the Capitol has been a doozy.  After more than 30 years of successful community pushback from folks like us who want public dollars to stay with public schools, the far right finally had the votes to pass the governor's doggone private school vouch…

TX House turns its back on public schools

We won't forget, and we won't stop fighting  John,  Early this morning, after more than 10 hours of heated floor debate, the Texas House passed Senate Bill 2, a private school voucher scheme, by a vote of 85-63. This bill is a direct and calculated attack on our public education system. It would st…

YOU made a difference Tuesday

Our community in action  Hi John,  I come to you (mostly) recovered after pulling an all-nighter Tuesday. You're probably wondering: Rocío, why on earth would you do that?! You're not in college anymore! 😩  I did it to protect our neighborhood schools from the House's voucher bill, HB 3, and so di…
