Support Legendary Texas Civil Rights Attorney Gary Bledsoe—Candidate for Austin City Council, District 7

Friends:

If you live in Austin's District 7, do consider supporting legendary Texas Civil Rights Attorney Gary Bledsoe, Candidate for Austin City Council. I can't say enough about him. He has advocated tirelessly at the local and state level for civil rights. The best way I can introduce you to someone who deeply admire is to share with you these recordings that give you a great sense of who he is.

The video at the bottom doubles as a conversation on policy and politics today and how Gen Z is particularly implicated even if at times disconnected from the reality of the policy agenda that is targeting them. This is obviously less the case now that Texas anti-DEI Bill (SB 17) is past tense.

Enjoy!

August 25 is now regarded as "Martha P. Cotera Day" in the City of Austin


Happy to share the recent news that August 25 is now regarded as "Martha P. Cotera Day" in the City of Austin by proclamation of Mayor Steven Adler, Council Member Delia Garza, and the Austin City Council.  Here is a nice piece written by Alfredo Santos below on Martha, too, in La Voz de Austin newspaper.  

Martha P. Cotera is a local, state, national, and international treasure.
Now we have a regular, August 25th, summer party in store for us, annually!
Congratulations, Martha! 

Much deserved! We love you!  ❤️💕 💗
