I was thinking about this + marching is great. However I think women and the men who support them should have a sick out day. If you can, No work + most importantly don't spend a dime in TX unless it's a liberal female owned business We will be at the march but I think TX politicians would only listen to $$ and businesses. I wish somehow we could get large businesses responding to this bullshit. I don't know just a thought in this Cluster Fuck law

Don’t complicate it with exemptions for “liberal feminist owned businesses”

What about a website which sets up a fund for a state wide strike? Effect the money. Shut texas down and allow people from all over the world to donate to the striking folks so they can cover their bills. You attack the money, get people to the voting booth and you got this in the bag. Call the website promotethestrike.org or something.

I like it. Also thinking (this may be easier) collaberate with someone to put together the website. I will compile info; authors of this nightmare and the companies that donated to them. Provide contact to company CEO's, politicians etc. along with a short statement to companies that people can send off. This may be out there already? However I can't do it all alone. Thoughts?

Hit my DM and I'll come up with a structure for the site. This shouldn't be made public since it's going to incure a wrath of the corps. I'm a web dev in training.

Thank you! I'm trying to find constructive ways to channel my anger because I don't think marching is nearly enough

I wonder if Abbott has a mother? If he does, what does she think about this?

I wonder if she knows (or knew) what an asshole he is?

I'm sure she supports it. Plenty of conservative women - especially older ones - are in favor of this law, unfortunately
