• Sign This Petition To Protect Workers and Your Constitutional Rights

  

  Make your voice heard: tell your lawmakers to strike the unsafe legal immunity provisions from the stimulus package.

  The constitution is under attack in Washington, DC. Mitch McConnell and his friends in the corporate lobby are plotting to use the COVID-19 crisis to remove your constitutional right to trial. They are seeking civil immunity for unsafe corporations that ignore safety procedures. Their scheme would endanger workers, subject your family to greater threat, and prolong the crisis and our economic recovery. 

  Please take one minute to tell your elected officials in Washington, DC, to stand up for your rights and say NO to civil immunity to unsafe corporations.

• Save Money While Saving Lives

  

  Texans are driving far less during the COVID-19 pandemic. This means fewer miles traveled and less congested roads, which adds up to less risk for the insurance companies. Less risk should mean lower auto rates for all of us during this time. Some companies are offering rate relief, and it is a good idea to call your company to ask for a reduction in your auto insurance bill if you are driving less.

• Clear Phantom Policies from Texas Roads. Support HB 259!

  

  When wrecks happen, Texans rely on insurance to help them get back on their feet. But with over 1.5 million vehicles driving with “phantom coverage,” Texas families are too often finding themselves unprotected and hung out to dry by insurers selling junk policies.

• Help our veterans. Support HB 306!

  

  Our veterans served honorably overseas, taking the fight to those dead set on doing us harm. Now, many of our vets are returning home sick with rare cancers and lung disorders. The cause? Open burn pits operated on our military bases. Texas doesn't abandon its warriors. They took care of us. Now it's our turn to take care of them.
