The Women Defending Texas's Right to Vote

All Episodes

July 22, 2021 • 37 mins

Texas State Representatives Gina Hinojosa and Mary González are two of 50+ Democrats from the Texas House of Representatives who are seeking refuge in Washington DC to stop a restrictive voting bill introduced by Republicans. It is the second time they have denied Texas Republicans a quorum to vote on election bills they deem unfair and undemocratic. Jennifer joins Reps. Hinojosa and González at their hotel in DC to discuss how their caucus banded together to escape Texas with 24-hours' notice, what's at stake in their state and around the country, and how women have been the driving force behind the movement. Plus, they discuss the "far right agenda" Texas Republicans have successfully passed already, and why the right to vote is the hill they'll die on.
