Educating our Children and Higher Education
The Legislature is moving to gut 'Robin Hood' without a replacement financing system. Meanwhile, the governing boards of our higher education institutions are moving to gain local control of tuition.

Women's Right to Choose
Our reproductive rights are now in the hands of an anti-choice White House and an anti-choice majority in the U.S. Congress and the Texas Legislature.

Campaign Finance Reform
In the last election, special interests raised hundreds of millions of dollars to influence statewide and legislative races. What we got in return is a legislature beholden to big business, not the people of Texas. Any true reform of Texas government must begin with real reform of campaign finance.
