Unitarian Universalists for Social Justice is proud to host Donna Howard, a Democratic member of the Texas House of Representatives, representing the 48th District (Austin) since 2006, for a discussion about the state of our U.S. democracy.

A Unitarian Universalist, Rep. Howard helped organize more than 50 Texas Democratic lawmakers who fled to Washington, D.C. last July to block a vote on a GOP-backed voting rights bill. They called on Congress to pass federal voting rights protections and met with Vice President Kamala Harris, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and other senators.

Rep. Howard will discuss current voting rights in Texas and throughout the country, voter suppression, and election subversion, and what people can do locally, state-wide, and nationally.

Join us as we explore: How important are these issues to the future of our country? Do we have a democracy crisis? Does the fight for Democracy affect other justice issues?
