The Rabble | Texas Politics for the Unruly Mob

It's Day 17 of The Rabble podcast's Daily Democracy Challenge, where we count down 46 days of impactful-yet-achievable action items to flip Texas and elect our 46th president.

Only 29 more days until the election and 8 more days until early voting!

TODAY'S ACTION:

LAST DAY to register to vote in Texas! Wherever you are in Texas, you can fill out this form, print it and drop it off at your county clerk's office today to be sure you can vote in this election: https://vrapp.sos.state.tx.us/index.asp
Tonight! Join us online to watch the DIGITAL PREMIERE of the documentary we're in! It's called THE PUSHBACK and it's super inspiring (99% because of everyone else in the film, only 1% because of us, haha). Even Mark Ruffalo tweeted about it telling his 6.9 million followers to watch it... whuuuuut! Also, the soundtrack is incredible and was written and performed by Johnny Cash's grandson, Joseph Cash. So cool.
The premiere is 10/5 at 5pm CT and kicks off with a discussion between Beto O'Rourke and Rep. Veronica Escobar moderated by the founding president of Voto Latino. CAN'T WAIT!

Only ONE MORE DAY to register to vote in Texas. Are you sure everyone you know is registered?? What about your neighbor who just moved in? What about your sister's roommate's eyelash lady? What about the person serving you kolaches? Ask everyone!

Also, sign up for tomorrow's very easy action, which is watching the WORLD PREMIERE of the movie we're in! It's called THE PUSHBACK and it's super inspiring and mostly features people way more amazing than us, like Rep. Veronica Escobar and Austin's only current Black city councilmember, Natasha Harper-Madison. It puts the current progressive movement in Texas in a historical social justice context and will hit you right in the feels. The premiere is 10/5 at 5pm CT and kicks off with a discussion between Beto O'Rourke and Rep. Veronica Escobar moderated by the founding president of Voto Latino. CAN'T WAIT!

It's Day 15 of The Rabble podcast's Daily Democracy Challenge, where we count down 46 days of impactful-yet-achievable action items to flip Texas and elect our 46th president.

Only 31 more days until the election and 10 more days until early voting!

TODAY'S ACTION:

Today is all about what some are calling the most important environmental race in the country -- Texas Railroad Commissioner (which actually has nothing to do with railroads and everything to do with oil and gas regulation). We're excited to attend a virtual fundraiser tonight for an awesome candidate -- Chrysta Castañeda. Plus, Erin Brockovich is going to speak! The event is at 5pm and you can get your ticket here: https://bit.ly/3ngxV7g

If you can't attend the event, please do take a few minutes to learn about Chrysta and why the railroad commission is so important. And then share what you learned! I'm scared that without straight-ticket voting people will skip races like this that they might not know about.

Here's a great video about Chrysta: https://www.facebook.com/ChrystaForTexas/videos/437130960532402/
Here's an article about why this position is so important for the environment: https://newrepublic.com/article/158981/chrysta-castaneda-texas-railroad-commission-2020-election-climate

If you are in the Austin area, please join us for a socially distanced, masked, '90s-themed lit drop at 10am.

Plus, you'll get to meet a candidate for State Board of Education and two local School Board candidates, and someone from Wendy Davis's campaign will be there to tell you how you can help get that shero elected.
