On July 26, Texans from across the state will gather at the Lynn Eusan Park in Houston for a pivotal rally organized by the Texas AFL-CIO, Planned Parenthood Texas Votes, and MOVE Texas Action Fund, along with other progressive organizations. The event—“Fight the Trump Takeover”—is a direct response to Governor Greg Abbott’s special legislative session, which critics say prioritizes partisan power grabs over urgent community needs.
🗳️ What’s at Stake
While Central Texas families continue to recover from deadly floods, the Governor has placed redistricting and other political priorities at the forefront of the session. Field hearings are underway to solicit public comment on proposed voting map changes, which many view as an attempt to entrench political control rather than address real crises.
The rally aims to spotlight this disconnect and demand that lawmakers refocus on solutions that serve everyday Texans—like disaster relief, infrastructure investment, and fair representation.
📣 Rally Details

🤝 Why It Matters
This rally isn’t just about resisting a political agenda—it’s about reclaiming the narrative and demanding leadership that puts people first.
