Rallying for Change in Texas Politics
Lauren Ashley Simmons, a dedicated union organizer and a proud LGBTQ+ woman of color, is taking a bold stand against the policies of her opponent, State Rep. Shawn Thierry, who has been criticized for her voting record that negatively impacts the transgender community.

The rally will feature passionate speeches from:
Lauren Ashley Simmons, the candidate advocating for progressive changes and inclusivity.
Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, a known advocate for justice and equality in legislation.
State Representative Ann Johnson, who has been a vocal supporter of LGBTQ+ rights in Texas.
Event Details and Voter Mobilization
Following the speeches, Simmons and her supporters will initiate door-knocking efforts to directly engage with voters, spreading their message of inclusivity and representation for all communities. This grassroots approach underscores the campaign’s commitment to personal voter interaction and community involvement.
A Commitment to Equality
The event is endorsed and supported by figures and organizations committed to civil rights, including the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), America’s largest civil rights organization working towards achieving LGBTQ+ equality. HRC envisions a world where LGBTQ+ individuals are fully embraced in all spheres of society.
This rally not only highlights the critical issues at stake in the upcoming election for Texas’ 146th House District but also serves as a call to action for all voters who value equality and justice.
