• Decisions that affect us will be made without our input ... Nothing About Us Without Us!

[ID] Embedded in a black background are large bold words in all caps reading in white “NOTHING ABOUT US WITHOUT US #DontWreckDemocracy” following “CONTACT YOUR SDEC COMMITTEE REPRESENTATIVE AND TELL THEM TO VOTE NO ON THE STEERING COMMITTEE PROPOSAL” White text is reading “Script: I’m (name) and I live in (your senate district #). I'm urging you to Vote No on the Steering Committee proposal. 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 to 13 members, in between quarterly meetings, harms all Texas Democrats by denying us representation.

If this proposal passes it will reduce our representation in an undemocratic way. We feel that this lack of representation within the Steering Committee will be extremely divisive and cause democrats to doubt our leadership. Why are we following the  Republican playbook?  

Nothing About Us Without Us”
