HB2 Sit-In Statement

We are here to announce that the State of Texas, with the passage of HB2, is a now a danger zone for women, the poor, the working class, people of color, immigrants, queer and trans communities, women with disabilities, rural and border communities and those most impacted by lack of access to safe, affordable reproductive healthcare.

We are here to defend human rights and the democratic process, all of which have been demolished by woman-hating, conservative ideologues led by Governor Rick Perry, Lt. Gov David Dewhurst and Bill Sponsors Bob Deuell, Glenn Hegar and Jodie Laubenberg.

We are blockading the entrance to the Senate chambers to disrupt business as usual and to declare that the attack on women ends now!!!

We will not be moved!
