  • Allow for Remote Voting for State Delegates

    "Remote voting" in this instance means for state delegates who are unable to attend. In-person delegates may still be allowed to vote in however means they deem necessary. The Permanent Rules Committee passed this proposal and we now ask for the General Body to support it as well. 

    105 signatures

    We call upon the Texas Democratic Party to allow remote voting for State Delegates starting in 2026. This measure passed the Permanent Rules Committee and will allow delegates who are unable to attend in-person to still have their voices heard. Too few Democrats are able to truely participate in the State Convention -- whether due to not being able to take time off from work, limited financial resources, illness, and more. This reform will allow them to participate in the governance of their Party.

    Economic Security for All

    22 signatures

    All Americans deserve the right to support themselves and their families. The Democratic Party should support legislation and policies that break apart corporate monopolies, support a living wage, good jobs for all, the right to repair for farmers, and more.

    Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act

    The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act establishes a targeted process for
    reviewing voting changes in jurisdictions nationwide, focused on measures that have
    historically been used to discriminate against voters. It would allow a federal court to order
    states or jurisdictions to be covered for results-based violations, where a particular measure
    has a disparate racial impact on voting.


    The Act would increase transparency by requiring reasonable public notice for
    voting changes, and would grant the U.S. Attorney General authority to request federal
    observers be present anywhere in the country where there is a serious threat of racial
    discrimination in voting. It would also increase accessibility and protections for Native American
    and Alaska Native voters.

    Voting is the foundation of freedom. The Democratic Party needs to support legislation and policies that support the voting rights of all citizens. We call upon the Federal Government to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and the Freedom to Vote Act.

    No Pay for Congress during Shutdown

    25 signatures

     

    Far-Right Republicans have tanked our government, causing millions to go without pay. The TSA, air traffic controllers, our soldiers and sailors, national parks employees, and millions of other government employees will soon be without a paycheck. 

    During this period of suffering and anxiety for millions, the Congress Critters who caused this mess are still getting paid. Not their staff (who get back pay), not the cooks or janitors at the Capitol (who do NOT get back pay); only Congress members are still getting paid. 

    We think the first paychecks that should be cut are those of Congress Critters. Sign if you agree!

    1. Enshrine the right to pre-viability abortion care in US law and the US Constitution;

    3. Keep the government small when it comes to reproductive choices and let people be free to make their own decisions;

    5. Ban any local, county, state, or federal government from preventing, fining, or jailing individuals, or those providing assistance, for traveling to get an abortion;
