Abbott's latest session starts today. Here's how we're fighting back.

Hi Friend, did you hear that Abbott's latest irregular legislative session starts today? Friend, this is nothing more than a power grab by a governor who consistently refuses to put Texans first. But while Abbott and his cronies are prioritizing partisan gerrymandering, attacks on trans kids, an…
