It’s the case that’s making national headlines, thanks to the successful settlement between penalized art teacher Stacy Bailey and Mansfield ISD. The district will give Bailey $100,000 and a letter of recommendation after a federal judge ruled her suspension unconstitutional. The district will also include LGBTQ training for human resources employees, and vote on whether to include sexual orientation in its non-discrimination ordinance. 

Bailey was an award-winning teacher, twice recognized as Teacher of the Year for Charlotte Anderson Elementary. In August 2017, she was placed on administrative leave for showing her students a picture of her soon-to-be wife during an introductory slideshow at the start of the school year, because a parent complained she “promoted the homosexual agenda.” 

Hear from her attorney about the case, the settlement, and the status of Texas law concerning sexual orientation discrimination.

Then, just in time for local ISD elections, we’ll share the current ordinances of Birdville, Carroll, GCISD, and HEB independent school districts.

It’s the most important special election swing district in America.

Dr. Eliz Markowitz is running THIS MONTH to serve HD 28, and when we pick up that seat, Dems will be only eight seats away from flipping the Texas House. Eliz is running against a Republican so awful even Empower Texans is against him.

Beto O’Rourke and Mike Bloomberg are doing their part, block walking in Fort Bend—let’s do our part!

We’ll make calls with Mobilize America, and you can register now for Thursday, Jan 23. Click here.

Friends, we are fighting for our state. We’re excited to toast to 2020, promote our shared mainstream values, and work to elect Democrats who will protect them:

• fully funding public education
• protecting our environment
• access to affordable care
• women’s health care and privacy
• gun violence prevention
• fair and free elections

Texas is the biggest battleground state and thanks to the hard work of Texas progressives, we’ll continue gains from 2018 and flip the Texas House this November!

If some or all of these values are your priorities—join us!

Texas is the biggest battleground state!

Republicans are losing their grip on political power thanks to traditional Texas Democratic voters and new young voters and people of color.

We need your help to send letters to likely Democrats who are NOT currently registered in the county where they live. The letters will include a postage paid voter registration card and GOTV letter.

The number of likely Dems we can contact depends on the number of MCD members and friends who participate, so don’t miss it!

We’ll also close officer nominations. Up for election—president, VP, treasurer, secretary, fundraiser/hellraiser.
