JUST PASSED: Item 64 on today's #ATXCouncil agenda, which seeks to deprioritize Texas's trans healthcare ban, passed with overwhelming support.
To our trans & LBGTQIA+ community, we are proud to have you here, in Austin, with us.
š¢ Today, I expressed my opposition to Item 64 during the #atxcouncil meeting. As a representative of my constituents and a believer in upholding state laws, I stand firm on legal prudence and fiscal responsibility. Check out my full remarks in the video here:

During today's #atxcouncil meeting we discussed the closure of the Marshalling Yard. Currently, the City serves individuals there as it is a temporary shelter.
I spoke about concerns I had over the closure of the Marshalling Yard. You can watch my remarks here:
#ATXCouncil -a giggling CIRCUS -attempt to defy #SB14 protects children from sexualization, mutilation & sterilization. Whereās the Pledge of Allegiance to the United States? UR a disgrace among our flags Mayor Kirk Watson Council Member Chito Vela Council Member JosĆ© VelĆ”squez Council Member Zo Qadri, District 9 Vanessa Fuentes šš½ Ryan Alter
Awesome to be in the Council Chamber as #ATXCouncil passed CM Leslie Poolās important HOME resolution to start the process of legalizing middle-income housing!
Whatever hopes #ATXCouncil offered on rebuilding trust with assault survivors through the $875,000 settlement in 2022 and subsequent work on 'change' is nullified in JesĆŗs Garza's mind boggling decision to bring back the guy responsible for so much of the trauma they endured.
