|
||
WHEREAS, Civic-minded individuals from across the Lone Star | ||
State are gathering in Austin on April 14, 2015, to demonstrate | ||
support for women and their families during Blue Ribbon Lobby Day at | ||
the Capitol; and | ||
WHEREAS, In 2013, this event was established by lead | ||
organizers Diane Mosier, president of River Oaks Area Democratic | ||
Women, and Lize Burr, president of Capital Area Democratic Women; | ||
it unites Democratic and progressive women seeking to address a | ||
variety of issues that affect the well-being of Texans, including | ||
income equality, public education, and access to essential health | ||
care; and | ||
WHEREAS, The inaugural Blue Ribbon Lobby Day drew more than | ||
400 participants who met with state legislators to discuss a | ||
variety of matters, to advocate for progressive values, and to | ||
convey the message that women play an integral role in the | ||
prosperity of the state; since its inception, the Blue Ribbon | ||
coalition has continued to grow, and its members are working | ||
diligently to promote policies that increase the economic security | ||
of women and make a positive impact in the lives of their families; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, Our democracy is greatly enriched when all voices | ||
are heard in the political process, and Blue Ribbon Lobby Day | ||
provides an important opportunity for public-spirited Texas women | ||
to express their views and share their insights with lawmakers and | ||
other officials; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby recognize April 14, 2015, as Blue Ribbon Lobby | ||
Day at the State Capitol and commend all those participating for | ||
their civic engagement. | ||
