With the 2021 Texas legislative session underway, state lawmakers must step in immediately to provide relief to Texans. Texas was the second state in the country to surpass 30,000 COVID-19 deaths and our string of record-breaking hospitalizations continues.
But the Texas Legislature can help! Please ensure robust vaccine delivery, economic relief, and uniform health and safety standards for communities.
We need the legislature’s help because, up to now, the state has failed under Gov. Abbott and Republican state “leadership” who continue to obstruct local mandates and instead pick partisan fights with Texas cities. Under Abbott’s watch, Texas has botched the state’s reopening, local mask mandates, testing and tracing, and now the vaccine rollout.
Even with a vaccine, our state is not out of the woods. A new coronavirus strain — one more contagious than the last — has also been reported in Texas. Thousands of lives are at stake every day - WE MUST ACT NOW.
Sign our petition to send a letter to lawmakers in the Texas Legislature to fight for their constituents by providing COVID relief and tackling this pandemic head-on.
