Ep. 418 New Year, New Resolve

We hope you all had a meaningful and relaxing holiday season and a great start to the new year; it is about to get busy and your advocacy will be critical in the next few months. 

We know a lot of attention will be paid to what is happening in Washington with the new administration, but the Texas Legislature convenes next Tuesday, January 14 and will be meeting for 140 days. They have a lot on their plate that will impact you, people in your congregation and your community. So, now is the time to get organized and lock in to try to make some progress on issues we care about.

Here with us to talk about all of that and more, to kick off the new year right, is Texas Impact’s Executive Director, Bee Moorhead. 

Join an Issue Team and get involved by heading to the Legislative Action Center on our website.
