2016 Texas Churned Tour

We all know that everything is bigger in Texas, and that Texans embrace life with that particular awesome flair. Texas even has its very own Ben & Jerry’s flavor, Bourbon Pecan Pie --and that’s a pretty big deal! Unfortunately, this penchant for going big also extends to voter-suppression efforts.

Yes, Texas boasts one of the most restrictive voter ID laws in the country; alongside Alabama, Arizona, and North Carolina. How do you counter such large-scale injustice? With a nationwide movement to restore fairness, equality and inclusion to American elections. We must restore the Voting Rights Act (VRA) and return the power in this country to the people.

Read more about how Texas can benefit by reinstating the VRA.
