The supporters of #HB6 and #SB7 challenged people to “read the bills and point to voter suppression.”
Today, 63 civil rights orgs have gladly accepted that challenge & are releasing two joint statements outlining some of the sections that would harm voters the most #txlege

We come from all walks of life in Texas: rural & urban, young and elderly, people of color, voters w/ disabilities, working Texans & those experiencing poverty, and people of faith & those who are secular. We stand united against the voter suppression that these bills represent.
Grassroots organizations, businesses, and others are calling #SB7 and #HB6 voter suppression bills because that’s exactly what they are: bills that would make it harder and scarier to vote. #txlege
The #txlege could be working to make voting better by adopting common sense reforms like online voter registration, no excuse VBM, online vote by mail tracking, and others. Instead, #HB6 and #SB7 would cause grievous damage to our state's democracy.
And as we explained last week, #HB6 and #SB7 would inflict enormous damage on Texas’s economy. #txlege

#HB6 and #SB7 will make voting harder, scarier, and less safe during public health crises, and we ask for Texans from all walks of life to join together in support of our democracy and in opposition to these bills. #txlege
