Analysis of SB17 and the Schaefer Amendment
May 19, 2023
At the Texas Legislature
During the 88th Legislative Session, we're focusing on policies that enable Texans of all backgrounds to thrive.
Our 2023 legislative agenda focuses on six key policy areas where some of the largest disparities for Texans exist: Health Care, Food Security, Education, Worker Power and Supporting Families, Fair Taxation, and Voting Rights. Addressing these policy areas will benefit all Texans, regardless of race, class, gender, immigration status, or any other factor, and create a stronger community, workforce, and economy in Texas.
