"We are here tonight to speak against the executive order issued on Friday… it is not who we are as Americans. We are a brave people, but we are being told to be a fearful people… this executive order against refugees is only an illusion of strength. In reality, it makes us appear weak. We are strongest when we are open and welcoming." - Caritas of Austin Executive Director Jo Kathryn Quinn.

Last night hundreds of Austinites came together to stand in solidarity with the refugee community, to the point where the church was over capacity and there was standing room only. This was not just a moment, but the beginning of unified action.

We stand in solidarity with the refugee community not just in Austin, but all over the United States - our home.

"Because Sandra Bland was driving while black, because she was not subservient in the manner this trooper preferred, a routine traffic stop became a death sentence. Even if Ms. Bland did commit su***de, there is an entire system of injustice whose fingerprints left bruises on her throat."

An assault on the spirit of black people in this country that dashboard cameras will never protect us from.

Two Texas lawmakers have proposed four bills that would punish trans and q***r Texans for using the restrooms that are appropriate for them but that some other people—very likely total strangers—feel they shouldn’t use.

Kerri and Robin, along with with a dozen or so other trans and q***r Texans and allies, spent the day telling capitol staffers their own deeply personal stories in the hopes of showing who could be affected by proposed legislation. They were asking lawmakers for two things: the ability to use public restrooms safely, and the ability to obtain accurate and appropriate identification documents. Though these may seem like simple requests, given the mightily transphobic tenor of some efforts in the state legislature, they’ve become complicated prospects for trans and q***r Texans.

Kerri and Robin are loving parents, talented musicians, and informed voters. They’re also trans women, and they let me tag along for an afternoon of deeply personal conversations with capitol staffers about legislation that could directly affect them.
