We call for the TX Democratic Party to change the rules to allow state delegates to elect the State Chair and other Statewide Party Officers during a virtual convention after the November election but before the end of December. 

Four corporations control the meat industry, one corporation controls most of soy, five corporations control 90% of global grain markets, four corporations control most of the seed market, only an handful of corporations control most of the ag equipment market, and more. Even just 25 years ago, this was not the case. These corporations squeeze family farmers out of business while also raising prices for consumers. We call for the Department of Justice and other agencies to break up Big Ag.

All Americans deserve to feel safe in their homes, their communities, and their bodies. The Democratic Party needs to support any legislation and policy that limits domestic violence, domestic terrorism, gun violence, crime, attacks on trans children, and more. 

Justice must be for all or it will inevitably be for none. The Democratic Party needs to support any legislation or policies that support justice for all -- from ending no-knock raids, increasing police accountability, fixing the justice system, fixing bail, ending the cannabis prohibition, and more. 

Our Ask: Consideration for U.S. aid to Israel should include;

1. an end to the indiscriminate bombing of a civilian population, 
2. consideration for a permanent ceasefire,
3. commitments to vital humanitarian assistance into Gaza, 
4. the right of return for displaced Gazans, 
5. guarantees of no long-term Israeli re-occupation or blockade of Gaza, 
6. an end to settler violence and settlement expansion in the West Bank, and
7. finding a true political, economic, and diplomatic solution to end the cycle of violence. 

Why Act? The mass killing of civilians, including children, is unacceptable and is a violation of international law. Netanyahu's extremist government is relentlessly assaulting civilians and rendering Gaza uninhabitable. Senators, including Bernie Sanders, Chris Murphy, and Peter Welch are now considering proposals for conditioning military aid to Israel and ending the blank check approach that has clearly not contributed to peace or security for either Israelis or Palestinians. Giving $14.3 billion without any conditions to Netanyahu, following the killing of over 5,000 children and expecting better results in the future, is unconscionable and reckless. 

Our Mission: We urge you to connect with your Members of Congress now and demand that they place much-needed restrictions on the $14.3 billion aid package to Israel to ensure that such aid is not used to harm civilians. Our campaign, "No Blank Checks to Netanyahu," is a call for accountability and a much overdue oversight over how foreign militaries use U.S. tax dollars. 

What's at Stake: Reassessing U.S. aid to Israel is a matter of extreme urgency, especially as we have the power to leverage our position and influence to promote de-escalation in the region, advocating for a political resolution over military intervention. This reassessment is critical to prevent complacency in actions that may violate international law and compromise our commitments to human rights.

Take action today and connect with your elected officials to demand accountability for U.S. aid to Israel. Together, let's end the blank check approach. #NoBlankChecksToNetanyahu

We are a nation of immigrants. The Democratic Party should support legislation and policies that strive to fix our broken immigration system in a humane, safe way. 

Freedom is a cornerstone of America. The Democratic Party needs to fight for all legislation and policies that promote and protect freedom, including but not limited to: freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from fear, and freedom from want.  

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. 

The cannabis prohibition is harming Americans. The Democratic Party should support any legislation that moves us forward to ending the cannabis prohibition -- including full medical use, recreational use, and full decriminalization.

We call upon the Texas Democratic Party to allow remote voting for State Delegates starting in 2026. This measure, which passed the Permanent Rules Committee in 2024 but was killed by the quorum break, will allow delegates who are unable to attend in person to still have their voices heard. Too few Democrats are able to truly 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.

We call upon the Convention Rules Committee to institute reasonable term limits such as 2 four-year terms for Party Executive Officers, the State Chair, Vice-Chair, and such, and 5 two-year terms for members of the State Democratic Executive Committee.

We call for the TX Democratic Party to find a way to display a public agenda for Convention Business for the 2026 Texas Democratic Convention.

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.

Our water, air, and soil must be protected. As FDR said, "a nation that destroys its soil destroys itself." The Democratic Party needs to support any legislation that works toward ending the climate crisis -- from boosting renewable energy; removing or otherwise limiting pollution and greenhouse gases; protecting water, soil, and air; and any other necessary policy that will protect Americans from the climate crisis. 

Education is the foundation of opportunity for all. But instead of supporting our schools, Radical Republicans seek to defund our public schools. School Vouchers are a ploy to give kickbacks to Abbott's campaign donors and the Greedy Few. We must not defund our public schools, rather we must fully fund and empower them to provide the best education to all Texas children.

Healthcare is a human right. The Democratic Party should support any and all legislation to expand affordable, quality healthcare to all residents in USA -- including but not limited to Medicare expansion, full expansion of the ACA, and Medicare for All or any other universal system of healthcare. 

1. Enshrine the right to pre-viability abortion care in US law and the US Constitution;
2. The government should stay out of Texans’ right to make personal and responsible decisions about whether and when to bear children, in consultation with their families, physicians, personal consciences, and/or their faith;
3. Keep the government small when it comes to reproductive choices and let people be free to make their own decisions;
4. Protect doctors from any lawsuits from individuals, the state, or any form of government for protecting a person's bodily health, autonomy, and freedom;
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;
6. Disallow public funds from being used to prosecute individuals or entities who provide reproductive healthcare;
7. Enshrine the right to mifepristone and other medical abortion medications as a right to all pre-viability abortion;
