Texas Redistricting – public hearing for Greater Houston Region – Saturday 26th July

Trump has demanded that Abbott redistrict and gerrymander Texas to increase the number of Republican Congressmen from Texas from 25 to 30.

Abbott is obliging, but aims to steal likely 4 seats. If he succeeds Texas’ future US representatives would be 29 Republicans and merely 8 Democrats. For a state where Democrats make up ~45% of voters!

Houston / Fort Bend / Brazoria is target of three of the four districts – CD7 (Lizzie Fletcher), CD9 (Al Green), and CD29 (Sylvia Garcia). In addition there’s indication they will again target CD18 (the district Barbara Jordan, Sheila Jackson Lee, Sylvester Turner held) to dilute the African American political power.

Please give testimony against this election theft, either in writing, or in person this Saturday. https://capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/89R/schedules/html/C0552025072611001.HTM

Alternatively, or in addition, come protest against the redistricting:
