The Texas Language Justice Collective has worked tirelessly in this 89th Texas Legislature with non-English preference-speaking #community members and #Texas #Legislators to re-file our #language access bills: HB4838 (Rep. Morales Shaw) and SB2853 (Sen. Menéndez)!

“I want better for our kids.”

If you're #worried that your #tax #dollars will go to #helping someone and not about your tax dollars disappearing into the pockets of the #rich, you're worrying about the #wrong thing.

When they try to #silence you, it’s not because your #voice is not worthy to be heard. They try to silence you because your voice is your #power. Don't let anyone try to keep you down. Fight back!
