Ways You Can Take Part In Fort Bend County Redistricting Fight-Written By Grassroots Activist

Please CONTRIBUTE

Below was written by freedom-fighter Sarah Roberts who is a grassroots activist who does the work in the Houston-region. It is about opposing the redistricting of Fort Bend County Commissioner's Court. This redistricting is happening because scoundrel and party-switcher KP George is now the third vote to allow it. If you live in Fort Bend County, please read this and join the fight. Thanks to Sarah for the strong rank & file leadership. It is always good be able to highlight strong grassroots work.

This is a pivotal moment. I know it’s overwhelming so I am breaking it down.

First, some updates on local redistricting! For Fort Bend County, we have a few things we need to be paying attention to, getting the word out and speaking out on. First up is commissioner’s court, then statewide. If you do not live in Fort Bend County, please check your commissioner’s courts agendas and share details in a post.

We need to all band together to use our voice. Share with anyone you know, including other volunteer groups, clubs, orgs, churches, your spiritual leaders, friends and family. Text, call, post, talk to people.

I care about humanity, kindness and doing the right thing, giving a voice to the marginalized, protecting rights. This is just another push from and the fascist Christian nationalist agenda. I’m not going down without a fight!

- Next Fort Bend commissioners court meeting is Tuesday 7/22. On the agenda is committee appointments and a couple other redistricting items.

- McCoy and Prestage have appropriately decided NOT to appoint members to the illegal and unrepresentative committee.

- The other 3 are appointing Upendra Sahu, Mike Gibson, Wendy Duncan, Ryan Yokubaitis, Jacob Lee, Robert Beham

- McCoy also has an agenda item to rescind the illegal appointment of redistricting counsel citing an AG advisory opinion from AG Paxton

​- Meyers also has an agenda item to move Sugar Creek back into 3. (You can’t have it both ways!!!!)
We’ll need as many people as possible to sign up and speak this Tuesday at commissioner’s court.
If you’re not sure how to fill out the request to speak, let us know. We can assist you in your goal.
