Sign up for the Austin impeachment rally & ask your reps #OneSimpleQuestion about impeachment

Impeach and Remove

NOTE: The impeachment rally at Austin City Hall is planned to take place the day before the House floor vote to pass articles of impeachment for Donald Trump. That vote is not yet scheduled—but you can still sign up!

Ask your reps #OneSimpleQuestion: “Do you think it’s OK to ask a foreign power to interfere in our elections?”

We know – there’s lots of breaking news every day and it’s confusing! Here’s all you need to know:

  • Trump pushed Ukraine to interfere in our 2020 elections.
  • He used US military aid to pressure them to dig up dirt on his political opponent.
  • Then, he tried to cover it up.
  • If the average person did this, they’d go to jail.

No matter what else we learn, or what desperate tactics Trump tries to use to distract, the facts here are what matters. It’s critical that Congress move forward with impeachment because nobody is above the law.

Congress Critter of the Week: Rep. Michael McCaul

Michael McCaul

Mina Chang landed a plum State Department gig thanks to an embellished resume and a fake Time magazine cover—and a letter of recommendation from Rep. Michael McCaul.

The letter begins:

“I would like to give my strongest recommendation of Ms. Mina Chang…to assume a leadership position within either the Bureau of Conflict and Stabilization Operations or the Bureau of Counterterrorism of the U.S. Department of State.”

Read the whole letter.

ADAPT of Texas Disability Film Night

4:30 to 7 p.m. at ADAPT of Texas, 1100 S IH 35 Frontage Road.

DEFIANT LIVES is a triumphant film that traces the origins of the world-wide disability rights movement.

It tells the stories of the individuals who bravely put their lives on the line to create a better world where everyone is valued and can participate.

Featuring interviews and rarely seen archival footage, the film reveals how these activists fought to live outside of institutions, challenged the stigmas and negative image of disability portrayed by the media, demanded access to public transportation, and battled to reframe disability rights as a social responsibility relevant to us all.
