Lydia came up from Houston for rally! CWA bus not accessible so she drove.

REV UP’s Bob Kafka was invited to speak at the rally

ADAPT folks and others with disabilities turned out for the voting rally on Sunday. Over 1000 people were there including people from El Paso, Laredo, Houston, San Antonio and more!  Though people have been rallying and using the Capitol’s South steps all year, the powers that be roped them off for this rally, forbidding folks from being there.  So the rally was held  in front of all that. If you questioned if voting matters, this rude exclusion of this rally (and this one only) should tell you they don’t want you voting. In other words voting matters.

Bob Kafka and Nicky Boyte leading speakers and other voting activists to the rally. Many have signs “Texas voters matter.”

The crowd of over 1,000 people gathered in the shade in front of the Capitol for an exciting rally for voting rights. The front steps of the Capitol were roped off to keep everyone out.

Crowd at voting rally.

The front steps of the Capitol were roped off with a police line to keep voting rights people out, just like they want to keep us out of the voting process.
