Over 200 disabled Texans and allies celebrated with REv Up Texas in Austin as well as 10 other sites from the Valley to El Paso and Lubbock to Dallas to Beaumont. Houston had the largest group but the enthusiasm for voting was high across the state. The League of Women Voters addressed the crowds, Disability Rights Texas spoke about our rights and how to enforce them, REV UP leaders talked about the importance of the disability vote and addressing our issues. People registered to vote, if they weren’t already, and committed to vote and get 5 other people to vote. If everyone there can meet these commitments that’s over 1200 votes, and judging by the enthusiasm those numbers will be even higher.
