To the right there is a circle with a red 13 in the middle and an indicator depicting the reduction from 95 SDEC voices to 13. Text below reads ”The SDEC will lose power by being reduced from 95 to 13 members in between quarterly meetings which is 14% of the SDEC, with no term limits! Two of the 13 seats are appointed and 6 are elected. The wrecking ball of democracy is headed for the Texas Democratic Party's State Democratic Executive Committee (SDEC) through the Steering Committee Proposal during a TBA Special SDEC meeting in October.”

[Image Description] Embedded in a black background are large bold words in all caps reading in green “NOTHING ABOUT US WITHOUT US” in red “STEERING COMMITTEE PROPOSAL:” in red “VOTE NO”. The text in red reads “Democracy is at stake for ALL Texas Democrats” In a white bulleted list the text reads:
- We want to protect EVERY Democrat's right to democracy and fair representation in the party.
- Decisions will be made from the top down with this proposal. Almost all Texas Democrats will lose their representation and seats at the table.
- The needs and issues of Texans are not one size fits all.
- Our representatives must have a track record of intersectional advocacy for regions, issues, constituencies, etc.
- Being a part of a community alone without actively advocating for inclusion of all Texans in Texas Democratic Party programs, budgets, reports, and strategic priorities does nothing to further our opportunity to participate in the party.
- Decisions that affect us will be made without our input by people who think they know us better than we know ourselves - Nothing about us without us!.

[Image Description] Embedded in a black background are large bold words in all caps reading in green “NOTHING ABOUT US WITHOUT US” A green website hyperlink reads txdemsdisabilities.com/who, following” CONTACT YOUR SDEC COMMITTEE REPRESENTATIVE AND TELL THEM TO VOTE NO ON THE STEERING COMMITTEE PROPOSAL OR SUPPORT THE 9 AMENDMENTS PROPOSED BY JOEY GIDSEG.” White text is reading “Script:
I’m (name) and I live in (your senate district #). Im urging you to oppose the Steering Committee proposal at the State Democratic Executive Committee meeting on 9/18 or adopt all 9 amendments proposed by Joey Gidseg. We have a representative democracy and all of our elected representatives MUST have seats at the table, at all times! Reducing the SDEC from 95 members to 13 in between quarterly meetings harms all Texas Democrats by denying us representation. If this proposal passes it will divide our party and do away with any hope we have of EVER turning Texas blue. Nothing About Us Without Us”
