    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.

    Safety for All

    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 for All

    25 signatures

    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.

    Healthcare Freedom & Women's Rights Platform Modernization

    We call for the Permanent Platform Committee during the 2024 Texas Democratic Convention to add the following, or equivalent, language to the TDP 2024 Platform under the “Reproductive Freedom and Personal Choice” section:

    97 signatures
    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;
    8. Enact paid parental leave for 6 months.

    Economic Security for All

    28 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.

    Break Up Big Ag

    43 signatures

    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.

    No Pay for Congress during Shutdown

    35 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!

    Cannabis

    29 signatures

    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.

  • Allow for Electronic Voting for State Delegates

    132 signatures

    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.

  • Ranked-Choice Voting for Statewide Party Officers

    The Permanent Rules Committee passed this proposal and we now ask for the General Body to support it as well. 

    358 signatures

    We call for rule changes to the Texas Democratic Party to institute ranked-choice voting for all party officer positions elected at the 2026 State Democratic Convention. It is confusing to our delegates to use ranked-choice for SDEC and committee members only to use an entirely other voting system for party officers. One common voting system will best serve our party. We also call for the party to institute electronic voting, including at in-person conventions, for to make our floor votes faster, easier, and more transparent.

  • Elect Statewide Officers during a Different Convention

    While state law requires political parties to elect officers during a gubernatorial year convention, state law does not mention "which" convention or how many conventions a political party can have. State law also says everyone who becomes a state delegate remains so until the next primary. Hosting a specialty convention after the November election but before December 31st via Zoom Webinar would be a cheap, easy, inclusive, and democratic way for us to elect statewide party officers. Voting can be done in a way similar to the 2020 Convention.

    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.
