🧵 Our member Courtney P. of the Dallas area wanted to provide her testimony in opposition fo #SB1 during Monday's committee hearing. She lives with paralysis due to a progressive health condition and wanted to share how important the democratic process is to her #txlege
People w/disabilities are at higher risk of contracting #COVID19 and facing severe illness. The surge of cases in Austin means it would be unsafe for Courtney to travel to Austin, which is why she requested to testify virtually. #txlege #SB1
Courtney's request to give virtual testimony to the committee wasn't granted, but allies like @beverlypowelltx & @TeamZaffirini made sure they received her printed testimony that day.

Even so, Courtney missed a chance to speak her own words in her own way. #txlege #SB1
