Just days after the state implemented a draconian anti-abortion measure that effectively invalidates Roe v. Wade, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed voter suppression legislation into law this week. With COVID numbers also spiking there, Julián and his longtime staffer Sawyer Hackett hop on the mic for a special episode to dissect the latest (and not greatest) in Texas politics and welcome reproductive rights activist and fellow Texan, Cecile Richards, to better understand SB8. 

 

If you’d like to support efforts to combat SB8 in Texas, visit the following resources:
