Help us write the Texas Democratic party platform! While you're caucusing Tuesday after the primary, help us shape the future of Texas politics by urging precinct resolutions at your precinct convention.
We're asking all Texans (yes, even republicans) to try and pass Non-Discrimination and Safe School resolutions at their precinct conventions. Our Democratic Non-Discrimination Resolution urges the Texas Democratic Party to support legislation that would prohibit discrimination based upon sexual orientation, gender identity or expression. Our Safe Schools Resolution urges support for legisation that would set minimum acceptable standards for schools to address the growing problems of bullying and harassment.
It may not be obvious, but the more precincts we have that pass these resolutions, the better chance we have of getting these resolutions into the party platform. So please, download the resolutions and help us by trying to pass them at your convention Tuesday night!
Any resolutions passed at the precinct level are passed up to the county/senate district conventions and, possibly, up to the State Conventions. Again, the more precincts that adopt a particular resolution, the better chance we have of getting those resolutions into the Party Platform.
Don't worry, it's a lot easier than it sounds. Here's a link to the excellent BOR Guide to the Texas Democratic Precinct Resolution Process
And here are the links again to the resolutions.

If you're going to really participate in a democratic society, you might as well jump in with both feet. Help us move Texas forward to a more just future and help the Democratic Party lead us there.
Thanks!
