ll on Texas Governor Rick Perry and Texas Legislative Leaders
- NOW -
to Stop Efforts to Enact House Bill 9 and Senate Bill 9
(the mis-named “sanctuary city” bills)

With this special session of the Texas Legislature set to end on June 29, the tide is starting to turn against these Arizona-style bills. Although this legislation was defeated during the regular legislative session, the challenge of defeating these bills again has been a long shot ever since Governor Perry revived them in the current special legislative session. However, the extraordinary mobilization of broad-based opposition has now created a real chance to defeat this divisive, anti-immigrant, anti-Latino, anti-law-enforcement legislation a second time.
