Day 15: Daily Democracy Challenge (31 Days 'til Election)
It's Day 15 of The Rabble podcast's Daily Democracy Challenge, where we count down 46 days of impactful-yet-achievable action items to flip Texas and elect our 46th president.
Only 31 more days until the election and 10 more days until early voting!
TODAY'S ACTION:
Today is all about what some are calling the most important environmental race in the country -- Texas Railroad Commissioner (which actually has nothing to do with railroads and everything to do with oil and gas regulation). We're excited to attend a virtual fundraiser tonight for an awesome candidate -- Chrysta Castañeda. Plus, Erin Brockovich is going to speak! The event is at 5pm and you can get your ticket here: https://bit.ly/3ngxV7g
If you can't attend the event, please do take a few minutes to learn about Chrysta and why the railroad commission is so important. And then share what you learned! I'm scared that without straight-ticket voting people will skip races like this that they might not know about.
Here's a great video about Chrysta: https://www.facebook.com/ChrystaForTexas/videos/437130960532402/
Here's an article about why this position is so important for the environment: https://newrepublic.com/article/158981/chrysta-castaneda-texas-railroad-commission-2020-election-climate
